The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most detailed wiring diagram of a piece of mammal brain ever constructed ...

Tim-3 is an immune checkpoint molecule involved in immunity and inflammation recently linked to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its role in the brain was unknown until now. Researchers used ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” ...

The 3D blueprints show more than two miles of neural wiring, close to 100,000 nerve cells, and about 500 million synapses.

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a ...

What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific achievement once ...
