In the world of medical research, few journeys feel as personal and urgent as that of Dr. Alexander W. Charney. His career began with curiosity, but patient care reshaped it into a mission. A recent ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

In a new study, researchers created an AI model of the mouse visual cortex that predicts neuronal responses to visual images. Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists ...

Researchers have identified two brain receptors that help the brain clear away amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. By stimulating these receptors in mice, scientists increased levels of a ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with other ...
