WASHINGTON (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 in vision, ...

To really understand the human brain, scientists say you'd have to map its wiring. The only problem: there are more than 100 trillion different connections to find, trace and characterize. But a team ...

In the brain, our perception arises from a complex interplay of neurons that are connected via synapses. But the number and strength of connections between certain types of neurons can vary.

The human brain is a tangled highway of wires emanating from nearly 100 billion neurons, all of which communicate across trillions of junctions called synapses. "Depressingly complex," Harvard ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Instant synapse visualization with our fluorescence probe. A diagram showing that the fluorescent probe can visualize AMPA receptors on synapses by sprinkling. There are few scientific methods more ...

A team of physicists from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and Sogang University in South Korea have built an artificial synapse, the biological foundation of the human brain's ability to think ...
