As reported by Current Biology, the paper, titled "Songbird connectome reveals tunneling of migratory neurons in the adult ...

Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. Mapping the brain is a daunting task because it contains a huge ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are increasingly understood as disorders of large-scale brain network disconnection rather than isolated regional damage.

The mammal brain is a complex network of billions of cells connected via trillions of nodes that neuroscientists have yet to tease apart. Now, researchers have mapped the many brain cells and ...

Glioblastoma, the most aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults, is not an isolated lesion, but a disease that destabilizes ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known ...

Particle physicists are used to popping champagne corks when they make discoveries at lilliputian scales, but now it’s neuroscientists’ turn. After 12 years and more than $40 million, an eclectic team ...

When asked what’s so special about Drosophila melanogaster, or the common fruit fly, Gerry Rubin quickly gets on a roll. Rubin has poked and prodded flies for decades, including as a leader of the ...

This is as good as the real thing, according to Alex Wissner-Gross, a computer scientist and Eon’s cofounder: “What you are ...
