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.

The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is the first of an entire brain for an animal that can walk and see. Previous efforts have completed the whole brain diagrams for much smaller ...

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 ...

Scientists have recently completed the most ambitious effort yet to construct such a map: a complete document of every neuron and every connection in the brain of an adult fruit fly.

The brain is an incredibly complex organ, but its billions of neurons have recently been mapped, opening up some fascinating research opportunities.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems has increased the demand for new hardware components that could speed up data analysis while consuming less power. As ...

Is there a difference in brain structure between men and women? If we were to find such a difference in a single neuron, would it matter?

Instead of relying on a single neuron, the brain uses the pattern of activity across many neurons to encode information to reach a decision.

Chronic exposure to cocaine reduces the expression of a protein known to regulate brain plasticity, according to new, in vivo research on the molecular basis of cocaine addiction. That reduction ...
