An illusion is when we see and perceive an object that doesn't match the sensory input that reaches our eyes. In the case of ...

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 ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a ...

To uncover this mechanism that may unfold only in the human brain, the researchers developed an organoid — a miniature 3D structure, grown from stem cells, that mimics a full-size structure found in ...

Anatomy explorers have charted a new path myeloid cells use to access the brain. On 3 June in Neuron, scientists led by Lindsay Hohsfield and Kim Green, both at the University of California, Irvine, ...

A computer rendering of a parvalbumin-positive neuron, which researchers were able to produce in large quantities for the first time in in-vitro models. Neurons are the cells in the brain responsible ...
