A side view of the brain's left hemisphere including the cerebrum and cerebellum. The Human Connectome Project (HCP) plans to do for the brain what the Human Genome Project (HGP) did for genetics.

“It’s really a breakthrough in mapping the living human brain using [magnetic resonance imaging-based] methods,” neuroscientist Katrin Amunts at the University of Düsseldorf, Germany, who was not ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

They're calling it a "parcellation." That doesn't even come close to explaining the unprecedented clarity and resolution with which scientists have further refined the network diagram of the human ...

Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. Mapping the brain is a daunting task because it contains a huge ...

The Wiley Foundation honored research into connectomes — detailed atlases of the brain that map out thousands of neurons and the millions of connection between them.

Though current methods allow researchers to study neural networks in individual brain regions, Collins contrasts the Connectome data as the “difference between listening to the string section ...

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known ...
