A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

The brain is a complicated network of connections and functions, but its inner machinations remain an enigma. In a huge collaborative effort, researchers profiled millions of cells to chart a cellular ...

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.

Two projects — one that maps the function of the brain’s neuronal network in unprecedented detail and another that combines robotics and light-based computer circuits to create safe self-driving ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used functional MRI scans to track which brain regions activated when 176 young adults watched scenes from "The Social Network," "Home Alone" ...
