Different brain regions are connected by—and interact through—networks of neurons. But the extent to which neuronal wiring drives shared function between these different regions is not well understood ...

A long-standing goal in neuroscience is to understand how a circuit’s form influences its function. Here, we reconstruct and analyze a synaptic wiring diagram of the larval zebrafish brainstem to ...

University of North Carolina-led researchers have used brain connectivity charts built from functional MRI data as a tool for tracking early childhood brain development. Charts mapped the maturation ...

Normative growth charts are widely used to monitor biometric parameters (for example, height, weight and head circumference) and serve as highly effective screening tools to identify individuals with ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) - 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 ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...
