There is a public perception that connectomics will translate directly into insights for disease. It is essential that scientists and funding institutions avoid misrepresentation and accurately ...

In an effort that in some ways makes the human genome project look simple, scientists are attempting to map the trillions of connections among neurons in any person. Cynthia Graber reports If you're ...

Connectomics, a rapidly evolving field in neuroscience, is transforming our understanding of the brain’s intricate network of neural connections. By mapping these complex pathways, scientists aim to ...

Brain mapping process and work from a 2008 research paper. High-resolution T1 weighted and diffusion spectrum MRI (DSI) is acquired. 66 cortical regions with clear anatomical landmarks are created and ...

The human brain – all 86 billion neurons of it – is something of an enigma. Despite decades of research, our understanding of how it works remains limited, presenting a major roadblock in the quest to ...

The connectome is a map of all neural connections in a brain and connectomics is the mapping of these connections. Connectomics can provide insights about the brain and many incurable diseases that ...

Researchers have used advanced technology and mice to study dopamine neuron structure, addiction and the brain’s ability to recover. A late 1980s commercial meant to combat drug addiction used a pair ...
