Fruit fly brains are smaller than a poppy seed, but that doesn't mean they aren't complex. For the first time, researchers have published a complete diagram of 50 million connections in an adult fruit ...

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known ...

With 140,000 neurons, 50 million synapses and over 100,000 cell label annotations, the fruit fly brain has been mapped and published in a series of papers written by scientists worldwide, including ...

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known ...

This work also includes identifying cell types, with over 8,000 different cell types identified. Within the full connectome subcircuits were identified, as part of an effort to create an ‘effectome’, ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

“It’s really a breakthrough in mapping the living human brain using [magnetic resonance imaging-based] methods,” neuroscientist Katrin Amunts at the University of Düsseldorf, Germany, who was not ...

A side view of the brain's left hemisphere including the cerebrum and cerebellum. The Human Connectome Project (HCP) plans to do for the brain what the Human Genome Project (HGP) did for genetics.

Landmark collaborative project sets out to chart every neural connection in the mouse brain. The human brain is a network of around 100 billion neurons connected via synapses. Jeff Lichtman (Harvard ...
