The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

Red indicates parts of the brain with more histamine-related gene expression, blue regions have comparatively less. The genes (HDC, HNMT, ALDH7A1, MAOB, HRH1, HRH2, HRH3, HRH4) play many different ...

If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome, of our neural ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

New research from King's College London and the University of Porto has mapped the histamine system in the brain. Histamine, a molecule more commonly associated with allergies, plays a separate but ...
