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 in vision, an achievement that ...

Blood vessels in the macaque brain are densest in energy-intensive regions such as the visual cortex Figure 1: A high-resolution image showing the distribution of ...

SAN DIEGO — Like fingerprints, human brains are unique. Scientists are working to map the variability of individual brains and to inform personalized therapeutics for treatment-resistant disease.

The prefrontal cortex in the marmoset has two distinct types of connections to other cortical areas A comprehensive map of the marmoset brain by RIKEN neuroscientists has revealed that two types of ...

In the brain, not all blood flow is created equal. RIKEN researchers have developed a detailed cortical layer map of the blood vessels that weave through the brain of macaque monkeys. It reveals how ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring ...
