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

This rendering shows an inhibitory neuron from layer 5 of the visual cortex. It's reconstructed from a large-scale electron ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date — a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire ...

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

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

Scientists have long known those signals move from one neuron along fibres called ... who helped pioneer electron microscopy to study neural connections. The Allen Institute’s associate director ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

Neuron clusters highlighted in green ... by a scaffold of proteins that maintains a cell’s shape. Under an electron microscope, protein fibers called actin filaments look like braided ropes.
