Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. Mapping the brain is a daunting task because it contains a huge ...

The mammal brain is a complex network of billions of cells connected via trillions of nodes that neuroscientists have yet to tease apart. Now, researchers have mapped the many brain cells and ...

Charting the connectome could unlock the deepest mysteries of thought, memory, and human ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a ...

Throughout the history of functional morphology, the brain was less forthcoming than many other organs. The brain was particularly challenging to early researchers, who often had to resort to the ...

Particle physicists are used to popping champagne corks when they make discoveries at lilliputian scales, but now it’s neuroscientists’ turn. After 12 years and more than $40 million, an eclectic team ...
