Traditional brain scans only show part of the picture. They can’t fully capture how different regions of the brain communicate—an essential factor in detecting neurological diseases early. Dr. Rahul ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...

Duke-NUS scientists unveiled BrainSTEM, a revolutionary single-cell map that captures the full cellular diversity of the developing human brain. The project’s focus on dopamine neurons provides ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Neuroscientists have long held that the brain reorganizes itself when a body part is amputated. A new ...

Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using ...

Hundreds of scientists and citizen scientists from around the world have mapped out more than 50 million connections in the tiny fruit fly brain, a step toward one day producing an intricate map of ...

Investigators have identified in a preclinical model a specific brain circuit whose inhibition appears to reduce anxiety without side effects. Their work suggests a new target for treating anxiety ...
