Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

A team has scaled up the powerful brain-mapping tool BARseq. The technology is now capable of mapping millions of neurons throughout the brain. Identifying how neural connections are wired up over ...

A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...
