The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

TThe fundamental unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Individual neurons are connected by synapses to form circuits. Evolution has driven the formation of ever more elaborate circuits to ...

The FlyWire project successfully mapped the connectome of the adult fruit fly brain, uncovering 139,255 neurons and 50 ...

Researchers map the whole brain of Drosophila melanogaster, or the fruit fly, which comprises about 140,000 neurons and over ...

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and ...

By Dr. Chinta Sidharthan Although neurobiological studies have long studied the various regions of the brain, there was an ...

The brain diagram, called a connectome, could revolutionize researchers' understanding of the human brain, which has many parallels with a fruit fly's ...

The astonishing achievement, which could shed light on the workings of human brains, is the work of the international FlyWire ...

Scientists have made an enormous step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron and synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- scientifically speaking, a 'connectome' -- through the brain ...
