Researchers suggest two newly developed tests could help to identify cognitive impairments that would otherwise go undetected.

A team of researchers at UCL and UCLH have identified the key brain regions that are essential for logical thinking and problem solving.

The smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped -- a discovery that opens entirely new insights into how our vision works and how it can be affected by disease.

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

Vision is one of the most complex functions of our brain and requires a seamless interaction between many different brain structures to decode shapes ...

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue. Now, a ...

Mouse visual cortex wiring diagram and functional map offers insight into human brain complexity and cognition.

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).
