With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a ...

In a newly published critique of the Connectome Projects, Dr. Gerard Marx from MX Biotech and Prof. Chaim Gilon from Hebrew University offer fresh perspectives on the intricate structures of the brain ...

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 ...

A research effort called the Human Connectome Project is seeking to explore, define, and map the functional connections of the human brain. A research effort called the Human Connectome Project is ...

For the past few decades, scientists have made great progress decoding the human genome. An even greater challenge will be understanding the wiring of the human brain and how it stores and uses ...

Neurodegenerative diseases are the most common cause of dementia. Although their underlying molecular pathologies have been identified, there is substantial heterogeneity in the patterns of ...

Modern nanoscale connectomics research commonly involves the conversion of microscopy imagery data into a graph representation of connectivity, where nodes represent neurons, and directed edges ...

Light enters the compound eye of the fly, causing hexagonally arranged photoreceptors to send electrical signals through a complex neural network, enabling the fly to detect motion. With maps of the ...
