Brains are bewilderingly complicated systems of connections between neurons. Mapping those connections is an important step ...
The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...
An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and ...
New research reveals that prion disease mutations can alter the structure of neuron synapses long before symptoms emerge.
Researchers have discovered a novel brain mechanism, behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity (BTSP), that enables neurons to ...
The FlyWire Consortium has created the first full map of an adult female fruit fly brain, which also creates the first ...
The brain diagram, called a connectome, could revolutionize researchers' understanding of the human brain, which has many parallels with a fruit fly's ...

A new neural map of the fruit fly brain reveals 140,000 neurons and 54.5 million synapses, providing key insights into its ...
They created a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse map of the brain of an adult fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). It identifies different types of neurons and chemical links -- or synapses ...
