The consortium used electron microscopic brain images generated previously in Bock's lab to create a detailed map of connections between neurons in the entire adult brain of a female fruit fly ...

This brain region also detects threats from the environment. Anything dangerous leaves a mark there so that it is possible to compute the precise location of the threat, Canteras explained.

A similar map has been created for the larva of the same species, but that brain is much smaller, with only around 3,000 neurons. The brain of an adult also has to handle far more information and ...

Researchers map brain circuits that signal immediate danger and create memories to help avoid threats Experiments with mice at the University of São Paulo used cutting-edge techniques to ...

With this data, researchers created a detailed 3D brain through a process similar to building a city map — each neuron and synapse being carefully traced like streets or avenues, allowing ...

Throughout the process, the consortium released versions of its data so researchers could tap into the expanding dataset. Even without the entire map, scientists have already begun exploring ideas ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, ... NEURD - Proofreading the map of the brain. Graciela Gutierrez. 713-798-4710. Houston, TX - Apr 9, 2025. ... Scientists hope to identify dysfunctions in ...

The map promises to accelerate the study of normal brain function: seeing, storing and processing memories, and navigating complex environments. As importantly, it will deepen the study of brain ...

Neuronal activity traces reveal how brain circuits evolve as mice learn a motor task. Left: example field of view recorded during behavior; each color marks a different neuron. Right: activity ...

Biologists and machine-learning experts spent 10 years building an interactive map of the brain tissue, which contains approximately 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses.

Despite the profound human, social and economic costs of alcohol abuse, existing treatments have failed to provide meaningful ...

Brain lesions associated with secondary psychosis map to a distinct functional circuit centered in the hippocampus, according to study findings published in JAMA Psychiatry. These findings suggest ...
