Brain mapping is a fascinating scientific endeavour that investigates how our brains are structured and how they change over time. This process examines how learning, ageing, mental illness, and brain ...

For many, curling up on the couch with popcorn and a movie means shutting your brain off to relax after a long day. But ...

Researchers have identified two neural circuits in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) that are critical for spatial navigation ...

The study, published in the journal Neuron, marks a significant departure from traditional brain mapping methods. Usually, scientists study brain activity either during simple laboratory tasks or when ...

With 140,000 neurons, 50 million synapses and over 100,000 cell label annotations, the fruit fly brain has been mapped and ...

LA JOLLA (Sept 30, 2024)—Scientists at the Salk Institute are unveiling a new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START). The cutting-edge tool ...

A new study tracked the brain areas that activated as people watched scenes from 'Home Alone' and other films.

By analyzing fMRI scans of people watching films, neuroscientists have created a comprehensive functional map of the brain, ...

based on new research using sophisticated brain mapping tools. According to researchers who discovered this new view, the first, early phase happens slowly and silently—before people experience ...

With 140,000 neurons mapped, the scientific community is now equipped with a complete brain map, the fruit of a decade of research. The goal? Decoding neural circuits. A 3D interface allows for ...

By scanning the brains of people while they watched movie clips, neuroscientists have created the most detailed functional map of the brain to date. The fMRI analysis shows how different brain ...
