Brain imaging offers a way to examine how different regions of the brain participate in cognitive function”— Dr.

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue. Now, a ...

Scientists from the Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICRONS) consortium have published the microconnectome of a cubic millimeter of the mouse brain. This is the most complete map of this ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

Historical views of the brain reflect the biases of the time. The industrial age spawned mechanical explanations for the ...
