A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

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, ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

With a brain the size of a sesame seed, the lowly fruit fly is often considered a kitchen pest. But to neuroscientists, the flies are a treasure trove of information detailing how the brain’s ...

Research by a group of Seattle scientists may help doctors and drug companies target specific brain cells to help people keep their minds sharp as they age. Researchers at the Allen Institute for ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Neuroscientists have long held that the brain reorganizes itself when a body part is amputated. A new ...

Trying to map the brain has always been cartography for fools. Most of the other parts of the body reveal their workings with little more than a glance. The heart is self-evidently a pump; the lungs ...
