The same is about to happen in the field of connectomics, as a Janelia and Google project has just released the beginnings of a neuron-level wiring diagram for a fruit fly brain. Many ...

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 achievement ...

“The reconstructions that we’re presenting today let us see the elements of the neural circuit: the brain cells and the wiring, with the ability to follow the wires to map the connections ...

A year to the day after President Barack Obama announced a $100 million "BRAIN Initiative" to accelerate discoveries in how gray matter thinks, feels, remembers and sometimes succumbs to ...

It turns out the wiring diagram shifts depending on how you flip the switch. (Medical Xpress)—When Joanna Mattis started her doctoral project she expected to map how two regions of the brain ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...

"The NIH is making an important investment in uncovering one of the most important features of brain anatomy - its wiring diagram, or how neurons are set up to talk to each other. In future years ...

Particular attention has been given to the visual system because most of the fly brain is dedicated to vision. This is the first time the cell types and connections of a biological visual system ...

are helping to reveal the hidden anatomy of brain wiring and giving scientists a new understanding of how thoughts, memories and emotions are formed. WSJ's Robert Lee Hotz reports.
