In a world first, Harvard biologists worked with Google to diagram a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex at the subcellular level, paving the way for the next generation of brain science.

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.

Now, a team from Harvard and Google Research have made a major breakthrough, publishing the largest ever dataset of neural connections in a human brain. Or at least, a tiny piece of one – this ...

A mouse watched YouTube. Then scientists mapped a tiny piece of its brain. Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project.

“The cerebral cortex is the largest structure in the human brain, and has attained an almost mythic status,” said Seung. “ It was dubbed an ‘enigma of enigmas’ by Santiago Ramon y Cajal, the 1906 ...

Researchers mapped all 139,255 neurons in the brain of an adult fruit fly, which are linked by more than 50 million synapses. Tyler Sloan for FlyWire, Princeton University, (Dorkenwald, S. et al ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement ...
