Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organised.

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Once considered impractical, electron microscopy–based connectomics has transformed neuroscience, earning Nature Methods’ ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

In a July 2018 MIT News article, “ Charting the Cerebellum, ” first author Xavier Guell of MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research, describes his team’s state-of-the-art mapping of motor and ...
