“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific American.

Though the volume of brain matter analyzed was barely the size of a grain of sand, the researchers still had to describe the relat. ... This wiring diagram of the brain is known as the connectome.

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

Gray matter is made up of neuronal cell bodies, while white matter primarily consists of myelinated axons. In the brain, white matter is found closer to the center of the brain, whereas the outer ...

New study suggests too much screen time changes brain composition in children. JAMA Pediatrics study finds that the more hours kids spend looking at screens, the less white matter they have in ...

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, an achievement ...

But this is the first time we’ve seen such a detailed 3D brain map of any organism, and it is truly spectacular to behold. Don’t Miss : New self-healing concrete that fixes its own cracks is ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly.

White matter, the parts of brain cells that connect to other neurons in fiber bundles, is linked to improved learning and focus. ... A diagram of the white matter tracts in Chrastil's brain.

About 40% of the brain is gray matter, while the other 60% is white matter. If white matter makes up over half of our brain, then it must also have a pretty important role.

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections.

The brain alone has more than 100 billion neurons to send and receive these signals, or messages. Your spinal cord is a column of tissue that runs from the lower part of your brain to your lower back.
