Before you read any further, bring your hand to your forehead. It probably didn’t feel like much, but that simple kind of motion required the concerted effort of millions of different neurons in ...

As millions of Americans adjust their clocks for daylight saving time this week, many experience disruptions in their sleep and daily routines – a reminder of the importance of circadian rhythms that ...

A 3D wiring diagram, the largest of its kind, containing hundreds of thousands of cells and nearly half a billion connections of a mouse brain has been created by researchers at Baylor College of ...

A new view of the human brain shows its cellular residents in all their wild and weird glory. The map, drawn from a tiny piece of a woman’s brain, charts the varied shapes of 50,000 cells and 130 ...

Hundreds of neuroscientists from across the globe, including researchers from the Tolias Lab at Baylor College of Medicine, have built a “parts list” of the motor cortex, mapping in exquisite detail ...

For decades, neurology treated the brain like a black box, nudging it with drugs and hoping symptoms would ease. Now ...

To navigate something as complex and dynamic as the brain, a map would help. Researchers have learned an enormous amount about how we think, what drives our behaviors, and why we feel the way we do ...
