Scientists have charted a comprehensive map of the brain cells responsible for keeping us awake. In doing so, they aim to better understand the mechanisms that enable human consciousness and to ...
These correlations yield detailed maps of functionally 'tuned' regions in the brain and together constitute an individual's 'functional connectome'. As Milham's group understood it, comprehensive ...
Altered patterns of methylation could, for example, lead to developmental learning disorders or cognitive declines in old age. “Now that we have these epigenomic maps, we can start to study whether ...
Now, scientists have created a detailed map of how the human brain functions during the process. Using data from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a team from Massachusetts Institute ...
The retinas then convert the image into electrical impulses. These impulses are sent to your brain. Your brain "sees" the words and gives meaning to them. Your brain then decides whether or not to ...
"It's the first detailed map of the human brain across gestation," Emily Jacobs, study author and neuroscientist, from the University of California, Santa Barbara, says. "We've never witnessed the ...
A newly developed technique uses a Bessel beam to extend the focus of optical coherence microscopy, allowing for a detailed imaging of large sections of the brain. Unlike traditional methods that ...
