Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

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 ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past studies suggest that specialized groups of neurons in the mammalian brain, ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...

What if we could peer into the brain and watch how it organizes information as we act, perceive, or make decisions? A new study has introduced a method that does exactly this—not just by looking at ...

New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.
