They're calling it a "parcellation." That doesn't even come close to explaining the unprecedented clarity and resolution with which scientists have further refined the network diagram of the human ...

A new study suggests that the brain processes information with high efficiency by synchronizing the physical wiring of neural ...

Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. Mapping the brain is a daunting task because it contains a huge ...

Any would-be connectomist should take ample notice of the fact that they would be embarking on a fantastic but never-ending journey, a Sisyphean task where the mountain's landscape changes anew each ...

Though current methods allow researchers to study neural networks in individual brain regions, Collins contrasts the Connectome data as the “difference between listening to the string section ...
