How complex neural circuits are genetically designed and wired is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Scientists have shown for the first time that genes encode a "wiring map" that guides neurons ...

Widefield microscopy is widely used for non-invasive imaging of biological structures at subcellular resolution. When applied to a complex specimen, its image quality is degraded by sample-induced ...

Recent studies in mice have shown that orofacial behaviors drive a large fraction of neural activity across the brain. To understand the nature and function of these signals, we need better ...

There's a GPS in your brain! Your neurons are 3D compasses! Researchers from the Weizmann Institute in Israel have recently published some new findings regarding how brains encode head direction in ...

A 3D visualization of the 13 major regions in the mouse brain. Black dots mark the centers of the 213 subdivisions used by SPERRFY to analyze relationships between brain connectivity and gene activity ...
