Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...

Allen Institute researchers Leila Elabbady and Clay Reid examine brain mapping data from the MICrONS project. (Allen Institute Photo) Researchers say they’ve accomplished a feat that was said to be ...

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health ...

Learning, it is widely believed, is based on changes in the connections between nerve cells. Knowing which nerve cells are connected to which other nerve cells would considerably help us to understand ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists have used data from the human brain connectome -- a publicly available 'wiring diagram' of the human brain based on data from thousands of healthy human volunteers -- to reassess the ...

When the Drosophila genome was first sequenced and released some 20 years ago, it kicked off a deluge of genetic research that has borne amazing fruit in recent years. The same is about to happen in ...

The study shows that communication between the entorhinal cortex and the hippocampus’s CA3 region helps mice form stable maps of places.

Precise knowledge of the connections in the brain – the links between all the nerve cells – is a prerequisite for better understanding this most complex of organs. Now researchers have developed a new ...

The brain of a common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is no larger than a poppy seed, but the miniscule piece of tissue holds tens of thousands of neurons joined by tens of millions of synapses.
