Life may unfold as a continuous stream, but our memories tell a different story. We do not recall the past as one long, ...

Juggling tasks can feel overwhelming, especially when your brain seems to rebel against the idea of switching from one thing ...

The mapping revealed an astonishingly complex brain architecture unlike any vertebrate brain. While mammals have a centralized brain with distinct cortical regions organized in layers, the octopus ...

The map shows one cubic millimeter worth of neurons in the visual cortex of a mouse. Many brain functions, particularly the senses, are similar across different mammal species.

Have you ever walked into a room and instantly known where you stood, even with your eyes closed? Or maybe you’ve felt time ...

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

Could this kind of mapping help scientists eventually find treatments for brain diseases? The researchers call it a foundational step, like how the Human Genome Project that provided the first gene ...

This brain-activity map, combined with the wiring diagram, marks a milestone in connectomics, a field that aims to show how brains process and organize information.
