Imagine for a moment if we could build a complete wiring diagram of a human brain – to map in detail every one of the hundred trillion or so synapses and roughly hundred billion neurons together ...

A Wiring Diagram of the Brain. The emerging field of connectomics could help researchers decode the brain’s approach to information processing. By . Emily Singer archive page; November 19, 2009.

Researchers reveal how modeling the human brain’s hidden wiring could push AI beyond its current limits into human-like cognition.

The human brain is composed of billions of neurons wired together in intricate webs and communicating through electrical pulses and chemical signals. Although neuroscientists have made progress in ...

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 ...

One possibility is the brain's wiring diagram or "connectome". The human brain contains around 86 billion specialised cells called neurons, which connect to each other and send signals back and forth.

In humans, this brain area has much more extensive connections to other parts of the brain processing complex visual information, such as facial expressions and behavioral cues.

A new study reveals that the human brain processes information very slowly, at a rate of just 10 bits per second. Despite having 85 billion neurons capable of faster processing, the brain filters ...

Their goal is to create accurate wiring diagrams using a multi-modal, cross-species, multi-scale approach. This will provide crucial insights into brain connectivity and its impact on cognition ...

Scientists at the Allen Institute, a research center in Seattle, then sliced that piece of the mouse’s brain into more than 25,000 layers, each a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair, and ...
