A scientific team has unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known as a connectome, and is the largest and most ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Harvard affiliates developed a silicon chip that successfully mapped more than 70,000 synaptic connections from 2,000 rat neurons, advancing a new recording technology to complement existing neural ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections (synapses) sending out the right amount of their chemical signals at the ...

Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...

This energy is critical for maintaining the connections between neurons that enable effective communication. However, in Alzheimer's disease, this essential energy production falters, leading to the ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

According to the Parkinson's Foundation, an estimated 10 million people around the world live with Parkinson's disease — a neurological condition that affects a person's ability to move. Parkinson's ...

It might sound far-fetched, but recent research suggests that dogs’ and humans’ brains synchronise when they look at each other. This research, conducted by researchers in China, is the first time ...
