A recent study revealed that the average human brain may contain the equivalent of a whopping five plastic bottle caps' worth of microplastics. The New York Times took a deeper dive into the topic on ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered into a 3D atlas that creates new possibilities for neuroscience.

“Scientists have been studying the structure and anatomy of the brain – including the morphology ... While there are notable differences between mouse and human brains, many organisational ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

Next, a second group dissected that same brain region, dividing it into layers 1/400th the width of a human hair, and took pictures of each slice. Due to the delicate nature of the structure ...

"We used a newer technique called lesion network mapping, which relies on a large-scale wiring diagram of the human brain known as the human connectome. This allows us to link different brain ...

Mapping a tiny piece of a mouse’s brain — barely a cubic millimeter of its cerebral cortex — has opened a never-before-explored path toward understanding the human mind. An international consortium ...
