Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...

To study how a key chemical neuromodulator affects signaling in the brain's cortex, Garrett Neske, PhD, has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Whitehall Foundation, a nonprofit ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

WASHINGTON — 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 ...
