The holy grail for this avenue of research would be, eventually, to map out the complete human brain. It is estimated that scientists will be able to map a mouse brain by the end of the next ...
Neuroscientist Bobby Kasthuri wants to do the near impossible: Map the entire human brain. That means identifying each of the trillions of neural connections that exist inside the mind—a number bigger ...
That’s what Lichtman’s team at Harvard, in collaboration with Google, did while developing the most detailed map of a section of the human brain to date. Lichtman’s team started its research ...
One of the foremost open scientific questions is to understand the structure and function of the human brain. This is important not only for understanding ... we are working on three main goals for ...
When the team began using the method on the brain cells from mice, they discovered that fetal brains have no non-CG methylation. But after birth, as a mouse develops, the amount of non-CG methylation ...
Recent technological advances are allowing neuroscientists to map the human brain with increasing precision, highlighting connections between different regions and their function in greater depth.
