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

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

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

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 ...

Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic spines. These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single molecules may have ...

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

Seung and Murthy say that they’ve been developing the FlyWire map for more than four years, using electron microscopy images ...

our results provided the insight of the fundamental role of the electrical synapse network with subthreshold oscillations. Anatomical gap junction network and our circuit model. (A) In the sample of ...

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

Anatomical gap junction network and our circuit model. (A) In the sample of the network diagram on the left, there are white-filled nodes stand for cells, and the edges of a solid line stand for the ...

Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map that you can zoom into like you're looking at Google Maps.

Have no fear—affinity diagrams are here to save you from getting overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data you’ve gathered. They’ll help you navigate through and organize your data in an incredibly ...
