By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Neurons and their branch extensions known as dendrites are featured within a mouse’s cerebral cortex. The result is a dizzyingly ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Language processing in humans depends on the neuronal connection between language areas in the brain. Until recently, this language network was thought to be uniquely human. Now, in a discovery ...

According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, an estimated 10 million people around the world live with Parkinson’s disease — a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to move. Parkinson’s ...

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons. For the first time, DZNE researchers have observed an ...

A late-maturing brain filter in the thalamus prunes noisy sensory inputs over time, helping adults ignore distractions and ...

Individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease show altered blood levels indicating damaged neuronal contacts as early as 11 years before the expected onset of dementia symptoms.
