The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light ...

The human brain consists of about 85 to 100 billion neurons. It also has roughly the same amount of brain cells that support neuron function with, for example, nutrition, oxygen and healing.

Two leading theories of consciousness went head-to-head—and the results may change how neuroscientists study one of the ...

With AI, “we are in the process not of re-creating human biology,” said Thomas Naselaris, a neuroscientist at the University ...

A study published by scientists at the University of California San Diego is redefining science's understanding of the way ...

“Rather than actively shaping experience, the thalamus (if it is considered at all) has typically been relegated to a role in ...

Read the paper: Light-microscopy-based connectomic reconstruction of mammalian brain tissue Understanding how neurons connect and exchange information to control behaviour is a central concern in ...

The human brain consists of about 85 to 100 billion neurons. It also has roughly the same amount of brain cells that support neuron function with, for example, nutrition, oxygen and healing.

The researchers claim LICONN is the first technology beyond electron microscopy (EM) that is capable of reconstructing brain tissue with all the synaptic connections between neurons. It also opens ...
