Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

Recent insights into brain functioning challenge the long-standing belief that brain wiring is the primary determinant of intelligence and behavior. It appears that it’s not just about how the brain ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

Vision happens when patterns of light entering the eye are converted into reliable patterns of brain activity. This reliability allows the brain to recognize the same object each time it is seen. Our ...

The extreme mental and physical fatigue brought on by long COVID may be a result of structural changes in the brain, new research suggests. These observable changes not only promise to improve the ...

A new study shows that prenatal disruption of the endocannabinoid system can have long-lasting effects on brain structure and ...

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...
