The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

New research from the University of Copenhagen, INSERM and Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research shows that the brain in mice works in separate channels at the same time, when they ...

WASHINGTON, April 9 (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 ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

For decades, neuroscientists have been trying to pinpoint the neural underpinnings of behavior and decision-making. Past studies suggest that specialized groups of neurons in the mammalian brain, ...

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 ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...
