Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers tracked thousands of neural connections to identify 28 distinct types of dopamine neurons ...

Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination. How the brain and this highly ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

For 200 years, scientists have speculated that different parts of the brain were responsible for different types of activity and behaviors and have tried to build maps of the brain, carving it up into ...

In a July 2018 MIT News article, “ Charting the Cerebellum, ” first author Xavier Guell of MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research, describes his team’s state-of-the-art mapping of motor and ...

A new study reveals that estrogen drops during menopause fundamentally rewrite the brain's default resting-state networks.

There's a quiet irony at the center of modern neuroscience. The more precisely researchers can peer inside the brain, with ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
