To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used functional MRI scans to track which brain regions activated when 176 young adults watched scenes from "The Social Network," "Home Alone" ...

The stress hormone cortisol disrupts the brain's navigational system. It impairs the function of the grid cells that play a ...

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 ...
