Neurons in the human brain form an astonishing number of connections; it's thought that there are anywhere from tens of billions to trillions of links. Scientists that are seeking to understand those ...

Connectomics, a rapidly evolving field in neuroscience, is transforming our understanding of the brain’s intricate network of neural connections. By mapping these complex pathways, scientists aim to ...

Congruent to its expansive achievements with AI, novel hardware, and robust cloud computing services, Google has been investing significant resources into an area of science that isn’t as frequently ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.

Many of us have seen microscopic images of neurons in the brain — each neuron appearing as a glowing cell in a vast sea of blackness. This image is misleading: Neurons don’t exist in isolation. In the ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

In the brain, neurons with diverse morphology and gene expression are wired into complex neural circuits. These circuits are specialized across species to enable behaviors best suited to each animal's ...

Research from a team of Harvard and Google scientists has revealed never-before-seen details of the human brain’s structure. The findings pave the way for a better understanding of AI—and, in turn, ...
