The recently released "connectome" joins a previously completed map of an adult female fruit fly’s brain. The digital 3D diagrams allow scientists to trace precise neural paths in the bugs’ brains, wh ...

A new package of papers examines the largest map yet of mammalian brain tissue. The map shows one cubic millimeter worth of neurons in the visual cortex of a mouse. Many brain functions, particularly ...

Scientists mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly for the first time. Days later the full MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome was being trained to play Doom and ...

Researchers map the locus coeruleus identifying dorsal neurons as learning cells and discovering a record 70.32cm axon in a ...

With a brain the size of a sesame seed, the lowly fruit fly is often considered a kitchen pest. But to neuroscientists, the flies are a treasure trove of information detailing how the brain’s ...

By Will Dunham WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Scientists have created a detailed map of gene activity within a crucial part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, gaining insight into normal ...

Let a mouse nose around a house, and it will rapidly find food and form a strategy to return to it without getting caught. Given the same task, an AI would require millions of training examples and ...

The atlas of gene expression in the prefrontal cortex was created using samples from almost 1,500 donors of all ages — from infants to centenarians.

A new company originating from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the Center for Computer Vision (CVC) has ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...
