Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

Researchers have developed the first activity-based maps of the prefrontal cortex, challenging traditional descriptions of ...

Awake craniotomy remains at the forefront of neurosurgical innovation, allowing for the resection of brain tumours adjacent to critical functional areas while minimising neurological deficits. This ...

SAN DIEGO — Like fingerprints, human brains are unique. Scientists are working to map the variability of individual brains and to inform personalized therapeutics for treatment-resistant disease.

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope.

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

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 ...
