Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

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 ...

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue.

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement ...

This monumental effort represents the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammal brain ever, and it holds important implications for studying brain disorders in humans. “It definitely inspires a ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A comprehensive wiring diagram and functional map of a mouse brain's visual cortex, the largest to date, has been created from a cubic millimeter of tissue. This ...
