Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're ...

A new set of genes that contribute to Parkinson’s disease risk has been identified.

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

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, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue. Now, a ...

Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated with stem cells placed in a patient's brain.
