Harvard and Google researchers have collaborated to map a tiny fragment of an adult human brain in unprecedented detail.
Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map that you can zoom into like you're looking at Google Maps.
Working from a sliver of tissue no bigger than a grain of rice, researchers have built an astoundingly complex map of the human brain. The tiny fragment contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of ...
The largest and most comprehensive 3D map of a mammalian brain to date offers an unprecedented insight into how neurons connect and function. The new map, which captures a cubic millimetre of a ...
In the new study, scientists mapped a cubic millimeter of human brain tissue from the temporal cortex—a nexus that’s important for memory, emotions, and sensations. Although just one-millionth of a ...
3D reconstruction is the first to overlay neuronal activity on a large-scale map of brain cells.
One of the defining features of humans is our brain's remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and more. These abilities stem not just from our large brain size, but also from ...
In a world first, Harvard biologists worked with Google to diagram a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex at the subcellular level, paving the way for the next generation of brain science.
The brain diagram, called a connectome, could revolutionize researchers' understanding of the human brain, which has many parallels with a fruit fly's ...
An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...
From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.
