The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder marked primarily by β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and abnormal ...

In the brain, estrogen can bind directly to receptors within neurons and other cells, setting off a cascade of actions. It can also be broken down into metabolites, called neurosteroids, which ...

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

WASHINGTON: Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an ...

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.

This brain-activity map, combined with the wiring diagram, marks a milestone in connectomics, a field that aims to show how brains process and organize information.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...
