A global consortium of scientists has created the first and most detailed "developmental maps" of the mammalian brain (from mouse to human) to date, taking the first critical steps in unraveling the ...

The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. With billions of cells that create trillions of connections to allow an individual to move, think, and remember, many of its innerworkings ...

Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious initiative to chart how the many types of brain cells emerge and mature from the earliest embryonic and fetal stages until adulthood, knowledge that ...

In a powerful fusion of AI and neuroscience, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and at the Allen Institute have created one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

Using single-nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), scientists from Mass General Brigham, SUNY Upstate Medical University, and elsewhere have identified specific brain cell types in the hippocampus that ...

At the turn of the 20th century, Korbinian Brodmann released one of the most consequential brain maps ever. By studying the humps, grooves, layers, and cells of the cortex—the outermost layer of the ...
