The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

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

In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals, while the latter support and protect ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Your brain can still make new neurons when you’re an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Scientists have identified a genetic mutation that helps protect the brain function of animals that live in high-altitude, low-oxygen environments... | Genetics And Genomics ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Scientists identify a high-altitude genetic mutation in yaks that produces ATDR, a Vitamin A metabolite that repairs myelin damage in MS and cerebral paralysis.
