This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large international collaboration of scientists, called the FlyWire Consortium, including researchers from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (in ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Scientists have developed new technology that allows them to see which neurons are talking to which other neurons in live fruit flies. The human brain is composed of billions of neurons wired together ...

New technologies that allow scientists to trace the fine wiring of the brain more accurately than ever before could soon generate a complete wiring diagram–including every tiny fiber and miniscule ...

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

The University of Minnesota Medical School received a $16 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies ® (BRAIN) Initiative ...

Using a combination of human and artificial intelligence, scientists have mapped all the wiring among 950 neurons within a tiny patch of the mouse retina. The human brain has 100 billion neurons, ...

The brain is the “control center” of the body. Together with the spinal cord, it makes up the central nervous system. Various parts of the brain are responsible for movement, breathing, and other ...
