Then scientists mapped a tiny piece of its brain. Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to know.

Scientists at the Allen Institute, a research center in Seattle, then sliced that piece of the mouse’s brain into more than 25,000 layers, each a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair, and ...

In 2020, the Google team mapped 25,000 neurons in part of a fruit fly brain. They’ve also been involved in mapping parts of the brains of the zebra finch (a small bird) and zebrafish larvae.

In the new study, scientists mapped a cubic millimeter of human brain tissue from the temporal cortex—a nexus that’s important for memory, emotions, and sensations. Although just one-millionth of a ...

A team led by scientists from Harvard and Google has created a 3D, nanoscale-resolution map of a single cubic millimeter of the human brain. Although the map covers just a fraction of the organ ...

Researchers built a 3D image of nearly every neuron and its connections within a small piece of human brain tissue. This version shows excitatory neurons colored by their depth from the surface of ...

A fragment of human brain, mapped in exquisite detail Date: May 9, 2024 Source: Harvard University Summary: Researchers have created the largest synaptic-resolution, 3D reconstruction of a piece ...

A cubic millimeter of brain tissue may not sound like much. But considering that tiny square contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses, all amounting to ...
