A connectome 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 is a representation of neuronal connections among involved neurons, neuronal populations and brain regions. Connectomes have been intensively studied at various scales, ...

A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an ...

Could the initiation of a simple walking exercise program help older adults to reverse declines in key brain regions? A new study led by University of Maryland School of Public Health researchers adds ...

A positive face-to-face conversation between a mother and her child can temporarily align their neural activity even after ...

Understanding the brain's functional architecture is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The connections between neurons ultimately dictate how information is processed, transmitted, stored, and ...

A team of neuroscientists at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown, in Lisbon, has been able to map single neural connections over long distances in the brain. "These are the first measurements of ...

According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, an estimated 10 million people around the world live with Parkinson’s disease — a neurological condition that affects a person’s ability to move. Parkinson’s ...

NREM sleep forms about 80 per cent of sleep for human adults and is the restful phase of one's sleep cycle when brain ...

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections (synapses) sending out the right amount of their chemical signals at the ...

Connections between the immune and nervous systems have been observed for centuries, but only recently has the depth of their interdependence come into focus. The idea that the nervous system can ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...
