Hypertension, or chronically high blood pressure, is a double whammy for the brain — making it harder for oxygen and ...

The hippocampus, a brain structure key to memory and learning, is one such area that also atrophies faster in Alzheimer’s disease. Sections ... 45% of dementia cases. Longitudinal studies ...

we cut a frozen brain slab into cubes called ‘voxels’ that measured 3 millimetres in each direction. In this project, MitoBrainMap v.1.0, we partitioned a single brain section into 703 of ...

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

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Because chemogenetic control relies on DREADD expression levels, understanding and quantifying the temporal dynamics of their expression is crucial for planning long-term experiments in monkeys. In ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most detailed wiring diagram of a piece of mammal brain ever constructed ...

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” ...

attributed the relationship between health and cognition to strengthened connectivity in the aging brain. In a 22-year longitudinal study of more than 600 people, those who had less abdominal fat in ...

In the developing brain, neurons must navigate through complex and often crowded tissue to reach their final ...
