Researchers at the University of Southern California have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the human ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

Now, a team from Harvard and Google Research have made a major breakthrough, publishing the largest ever dataset of neural connections in a human brain. Or at least, a tiny piece of one – this ...

In a world first, Harvard biologists worked with Google to diagram a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex at the subcellular level, paving the way for the next generation of brain science.

Information processing in the human brain occurs via electrical firing of 86 billion neurons that make trillions of connections with each other. The secrets of how our brain enables us to think, feel, ...

Next up, he says, is scaling up to create a similar map for a piece of mouse brain that’s 10 to 15 times bigger than the piece used in the new study. Researchers also hope to map more human ...

In fact, the human brain's visual system actively reshapes how it represents the exact same object depending on what you're trying to do.

Says Biau, "We assume that if auditory and visual speech inputs arrive in the brain at the same time, then their chance of being associated in a memory is much higher because they will fall into ...

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...
