When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use "awake brain mapping" to minimize the risk of causing ...

Tulane University researchers created a first-of-its-kind subcellular map of an area of the brain commonly affected by Alzheimer’s disease, a key step toward unraveling the mysteries of how the ...

For 200 years, scientists have speculated that different parts of the brain were responsible for different types of activity and behaviors and have tried to build maps of the brain, carving it up into ...

Over the past few years, many neuroscientists have been trying to map large sections of brain tissue using a technique known as electron microscopy. This is a tool that utilizes applied beams of ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.
