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.

Researchers have created maps delineating how brain regions not adjacent to one another are connected by long tracts of cellular projections called axons. The newest microscope techniques reveal ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

A new study reveals that the basolateral amygdala (BLA) plays a key role in calibrating prosocial behavior based on emotional ...

in a region toward the front of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex. Most neurons have cone- or star-shaped bodies with several branching projections, called dendrites, that receive ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers ...

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

Two new studies from MIT and Harvard Medical School, focused on a cytokine called IL-17, now add to that evidence. The researchers found that IL-17 acts on two distinct brain regions — the amygdala ...
