Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Researchers studied the brain of a mouse while watching The Matrix and the results have been deemed awe-inspiring.

Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.

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 ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a ...

each far thinner than a human hair. With electron microscopes, they took nearly 100 million high-resolution images of those sections, illuminating those spaghetti-like fibers and painstakingly ...

Next, scientists at the Allen Institute analyzed that small piece of brain tissue, using a special tool to shave it into more than 25,000 layers, each far thinner than a human hair. With electron ...
