Have you ever wondered how a fly manages to dodge you in a split second? Scientists have long been fascinated by the ...

Researchers discover that rare axo-axonic synapses form a decentralized network of "broker" neurons to drive split-second fly ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using ...

Scientists use machine learning and SPERRFY to decode the genetic wiring map that guides neural connections across the entire ...

Neurons and white blood cells differ greatly in shape, function, and location within the body. However, researchers at the ...

According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, an estimated 10 million people around the world live with Parkinson’s disease — a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to move. Parkinson’s ...

The ambitious effort to chart every neuronal connection in the brain—connectomics—has long been held back by slow, expensive, and technically demanding imaging workflows. In this proof-of-concept ...

Understanding the brain's functional architecture is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The connections between neurons ultimately dictate how information is processed, transmitted, stored, and ...

While tics have been considered to result from an aberrant function of the brain's motor cortex, a Kobe University mouse study has now discovered a connection to the brain's emotional functions. The ...
