Scientists debut START, a new tool for mapping the brain's intricate neuronal connections with unparalleled precision. They demonstrate START's ability to identify the connectivity patterns of ...

Jeff Lichtman, a professor in molecular and cellular biology at Harvard, explains that researchers in his lab, led by Alex Shapson-Coe, created the brain map by taking subcellular pictures of the ...

It contains more than 523 million synapses, miles of axons and more than 200,000 cells, and what makes this wiring diagram and brain map unique, is that it also includes functional properties of ...

The resulting map not only highlighted the origins of signals reaching V1 interneurons but also provided a detailed framework for studying the interactions between brain and spinal circuits.

Using these results, they were able to identify specific brain circuits that had become dysfunctional in each of the four disorders, such as those mapping to sensorimotor cortices in dystonia, the ...

This month, the Machine Intelligence From Cortical Networks (MICrONS) consortium released the most comprehensive map ever assembled of a mammalian brain. The years-long effort painstakingly charted a ...
