To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using this approach, they were able to trace connections among thousands of ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used functional MRI scans to track which brain regions activated when 176 young adults watched scenes from "The Social Network," "Home Alone" ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

Neuroscientists are the cartographers of the brain’s diverse domains and territories—the features and activities that define them, the roads and highways that connect them, and the boundaries that ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
