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 ...

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 portion of the ...

Researchers say artificial intelligence has helped them create one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain to date.

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

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 ...

Adolescents who regularly choose solitude over social connection show measurable differences in brain structure and function, according to a large neuroimaging study.

A recent study reveals that teenagers preferring solitude during development experience notable changes in brain structure ...

Aging is associated with progressive white matter degeneration, which impairs brain structure and function. Defects in ...
