WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, ...

A 3-D reconstruction of cells from the MICrONS data set shows the complexity of shapes and branching axons and dendrites in a mouse brain. Each cell is labeled with a different color. (MICrONS / Allen ...

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the first complete wiring map of the fruit-fly brain, including 140,000 neurons and more than 50 million connections. This resource has already begun to ...

This image shows a subset of more than 1,000 of the 120,000 brain cells (neuron + glia) reconstructed in the MICRONS project. Each reconstructed neuron is a different random color. In this image, the ...
