In a landmark achievement, the diagram also details the activity of individual neurons on a large scale ― a neuroscience first. The high-resolution 3D map contains more than 200,000 brain cells ...

Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. Featured in the February ...

Your brain contains billions of nerve cells called neurons that communicate with each other by sending and receiving electrical impulses. A seizure occurs when there is sudden abnormal electrical ...

Snippets of “sci-fi movies, sports, animation and nature” were used in the research to create the largest brain map ever.

Your brain can still make new neurons when you're an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

Published in Cell Reports, this study reveals that neurons—the cells that make up our brain—use simple physics to maintain their connections, and that these processes change in Alzheimer's ...
