WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in ...

Canadian researchers show that stress modifies the morphology of brain cells in mice, directly influencing the rodents' level ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.

Miniature models of the brain have revealed a "previously unappreciated" role of microglia, a type of cell found within the organ. The finding could help unpack how disorders such as autism arise.

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the ...

Combined with the recordings of brain activity, the result is the largest wiring diagram and functional map of the brain to date, containing more than 200,000 cells, four kilometers of axons (the ...

One of the defining features of humans is our brain’s remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and ...

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the ...

Scientists have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially 'freezing' a key molecule in the brain.
