Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. Mapping the brain is a daunting task because it contains a huge ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

With 140,000 neurons, 50 million synapses and over 100,000 cell label annotations, the fruit fly brain has been mapped and published in a series of papers written by scientists worldwide, including ...

From intricate white matter tracts to the vast connectome, scientists are mapping the brain’s hidden pathways with unprecedented clarity. Using advanced imaging like tractography and diffusion MRI, ...

Fruit fly brains are smaller than a poppy seed, but that doesn't mean they aren't complex. For the first time, researchers have published a complete diagram of 50 million connections in an adult fruit ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

Researchers have uncovered novel insights into how brain function disruptions related to cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) interact with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology to impact neurodegeneration and ...

In a study published in Psychoradiology researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Georgia have systematically summarized studies on brain networks within the context ...

Landmark collaborative project sets out to chart every neural connection in the mouse brain. The human brain is a network of around 100 billion neurons connected via synapses. Jeff Lichtman (Harvard ...
