Brain mapping is a fascinating scientific endeavour that investigates how our brains are structured and how they change over time. This process examines how learning, ageing, mental illness, and brain ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive ...

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

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 ...

Just like real atlases, brain atlases vary widely in scale and content. This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review’s weekly biotech newsletter. To receive it in your inbox every ...

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 ...

This brain map illustrates the earliest incarnations of the "Bergland Split-Brain Model" and describes various hypothetical roles each brain region might play within an interconnected ...

Bodily functions rise and decline with age, and the brain is no exception. However, the exact trajectory of our brain activity during controlled behavior remains unclear. A recent study published in ...

To shed new light on the contribution of different brain regions and neural circuits to specific mental functions, ...

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a key molecule involved in inflammation and plays an important role in both healthy and diseased states. In disease, high levels of IL-1 in the brain are linked to ...
