Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using ...

Offering faster and cheaper 3D brain imaging The ambitious effort to chart every neuronal connection in the brain—connectomics—has long been held back by slow, expensive, and technically demanding ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

Researchers in the Jonas group at ISTA applied this question to the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for memory ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a hybrid biocomputing platform that combines living brain ...

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands of links with single-synapse precision. The method transforms brain mapping ...

Comingling RNA barcodes, each correlating to a neuron, indicate where neurons connect in the brain, letting researchers map neural connection with speed, scale and resolution. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By ...

Researchers use molecular barcoding to discover that Alston’s singing mice evolved complex vocalizations through targeted tripling of neural projections.

The screen worked, flagging expected cancer genes. But it also kept returning something that seemed impossible: genes for synapses, glutamate receptors, and neural signaling pathways. “We absolutely ...

Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world – and in particular, of feedback connections, which send ...

New research has discovered that a neural circuit may explain procrastination. Scientists were able to disrupt this connection using a drug. The study, led by Ken-ichi Amemori, a neuroscientist at ...

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...
