When the Drosophila genome was first sequenced and released some 20 years ago, it kicked off a deluge of genetic research that has borne amazing fruit in recent years. The same is about to happen in ...

Allen Institute researchers Leila Elabbady and Clay Reid examine brain mapping data from the MICrONS project. (Allen Institute Photo) Researchers say they’ve accomplished a feat that was said to be ...

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue. Now, a ...

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. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Our brains are wondrous, incredible machines. They're slower than the earliest personal computers in terms of raw processing power, yet capable of leaps of intuition and able to store a lifetime of ...

Neuroscientists have used data from the human brain connectome -- a publicly available 'wiring diagram' of the human brain based on data from thousands of healthy human volunteers -- to reassess the ...

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 ...

The University of Minnesota Medical School received a $16 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies ® (BRAIN) Initiative ...

Scientists have developed new technology that allows them to see which neurons are talking to which other neurons in live fruit flies. The human brain is composed of billions of neurons wired together ...

A subset of more than 1,000 neurons, representing just a snapshot of the complexity mapped within a cubic millimeter of mouse brain tissue Allen Institute In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it ...
