Researchers have created an AI-powered "digital twin" of the mouse visual cortex that can accurately simulate neural responses to visual input, including movies.

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine researchers and collaborators used an artificial intelligence model to build a "digital twin" of the part of the mouse brain that processes visual information.

Neuroscientists have mapped the largest wiring diagram of a mammalian brain, revealing insights into its structure and function. Using mouse cerebral cortex tissue, they recorded neural activity, highlighting neuron connections.

The brain is a complicated network of connections and functions, but its inner machinations remain an enigma. In a huge collaborative effort, researchers profiled millions of cells to chart a cellular map of a mouse brain. 1 “This work identifies cell ...

A cruel consequence of advanced cancer is the profound apathy many patients experience as they lose interest in once-cherished activities. This symptom is part of a syndrome called cachexia, which affects about 80% of late-stage cancer patients,

But creatures were definitely stirring, including a mouse ... “It’s a real breakthrough that shows the power of these techniques to address fundamental questions about how the brain works.”

As a proof of principle, they generated a 3D interactive atlas of the brain in both normal mice and mouse models of Alzheimer's and Pompe disease, a rare genetic disorder. Sun's lab has made its ...
