A new human brain atlas features 250 structurally distinct areas, each based on the analysis of ten brains. Over 2400 brain sections were digitalized and assembled in 3D to create the new map.
Study provides evidence of a critical period for neuroplasticity in the frontal cortex during the teenage years, a time at which risk-taking behaviors and mental illness risk peak.
Researchers present a new theory which explains how critical periods are triggered during neurodevelopment.
New research details where genes are turned on in the brain during pregnancy. The study provides new insight into diseases such as autism and the origins of human uniqueness.
A new paper takes on brain mapping studies; forcing scientists to rethink the rules of neuroimaging.
Scientists developed a method for decoding neural circuit diagrams. Using measurements of total neuronal activity, they can determine the probability that two neurons are connected with each other.
A new, freely available brain atlas reveals how brain metabolism changes throughout the life of mice.
fMRI brain scans reveal semantic tuning during both reading and listening to words are highly correlated in selective areas of the cerebral cortex. The new brain maps enabled researchers to accurately predict which words would active specific regions of the cortex.
Using RNA sequencing, researchers have created a spatiomolecular map of the striatum, an area of the brain implicated in decision making and addiction.
Researchers have created a comprehensive atlas of cell types in the brain's cerebrovascular system.
Researchers have created a collection of month-to-month infant brain maps that capture the fine detail of changes in the early developing brain.
Connectomics researchers aim to map and understand how individual neurons connect to each other to form functional networks.
