Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have succeeded in showing, in an animal model, that the process of ...

Many brain functions, particularly the senses, are similar across different mammal species. Scientists have mapped an unprecedentedly large portion of the brain of a mouse. The cubic millimeter ...

A healthy handful of walnuts in your breakfast could improve brain function throughout the day, a new study has shown. The study, published in the Food & Function journal, involved 32 healthy ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic ... set to fine-tune their models of brain structure and function. It might also be possible to ...

The Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICrONS) Project has built the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. Today, scientists published the scientific findings (see ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date—a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.

increasing the risk of impaired brain function, stroke and dementia. It’s important to avoid excessive sugar as well. Too much sugar can harm the brain’s ability to produce adenosine ...

Further research is needed to clarify whether GLP-1R agonism impacts brain health directly or through improved metabolic function. The role of GLP-1 in metabolic regulation GLP-1 is a hormone ...

“My simple answer is that if we can truly understand how any brain functions, it’s bound to tell us something about all brains.” In one of the studies, scientists created a computer ...

The FlyWire connectome: neuronal wiring diagram of a complete fly brain ... Moreover, researchers can begin to formulate models of brain function that are constrained by knowledge of connectivity ...

The research sought to decipher how brains are wired and the signals underlying healthy brain functions ... by the researchers provided a wiring diagram, known as a connectome, for the brain ...
