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 ...

The human brain is often compared to a computer, but the latest wave of research shows it is closer to a self-building city, ...

Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until adulthood, knowledge that ...

By editing thousands of genes in mouse stem cells, the scientists identified a list of over 300 that are crucial for neural differentiation.

A team led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed a computational method to improve techniques to track brain cell development over time. By studying neurons and their dynamics in brain ...
