Researchers have figured out how to temporarily look straight through a living brain tissue with minimal invasiveness and ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, a new study in mice showed. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that have ...

Their research was published online today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The discovery that the brains of humans and mice age in similar ways may one day help scientists ...

While such advances bring with them a breadth of knowledge, the immense complexity of the datasets makes it challenging for scientists to analyze them using current computational methods. Now, ...

Using sensors and a light-activated drug, the team mapped neural pathways used by endogenous opioids to send pain relief ...

Visualization of 75,000 neurons (colored dots) active across the brain of an adult mouse across different stages of a decision-making task. Dot size reflects a cell’s average firing rate, such that ...
