NEW YORK (AP) - Scientists have created a detailed, three-dimensional wiring diagram of the mouse brain. That should help researchers seek clues about how the human brain works in health and disease.

Researchers have published the first comprehensive, large-scale data set on how the brain of a mammal is wired, providing a groundbreaking data resource and fresh insights into how the nervous system ...

The brain of a common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is no larger than a poppy seed, but the miniscule piece of tissue holds tens of thousands of neurons joined by tens of millions of synapses.

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...
