Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

This is an unfathomably complex task for the human brain, ... Seven companion papers 3 – 9 demonstrate the utility of the connectome in studying neural processing, ... Wiring diagram of the fly ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

Now, a team from Harvard and Google Research have made a major breakthrough, publishing the largest ever dataset of neural connections in a human brain. Or at least, a tiny piece of one – this ...

One possibility is the brain's wiring diagram or "connectome". The human brain contains around 86 billion specialised cells called neurons, which connect to each other and send signals back and forth.

“We suggest that this enhancement of distributed dendritic information processing may therefore be one factor that increases our brain’s overall processing power.” The translation of such discoveries ...

A new study reveals that the human brain processes information very slowly, at a rate of just 10 bits per second. Despite having 85 billion neurons capable of faster processing, the brain filters ...
