Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Columbia scientists mapped brain mitochondria for the first time, revealing how energy shapes memory, mood, and mental health ...

Although the brain represents only 2% of body weight, it consumes 20% of our energy. A recent study sheds light on the ...

Information gathered in just one cubic millimeter of a rodent’s cerebral cortex will help unravel the complex neural networks ...

Using a mathematical model, scientists explored how the human brain might represent information about physical spaces and ...

Researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus have developed a new way to map how individual connections between neurons ...

Researchers have developed DELTA, a powerful new imaging method that maps brain-wide synaptic changes during learning.

By enabling researchers to see these brain-wide changes, DELTA gives scientists a starting point for follow-up studies to detail the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind learning and memory.

“We found that in the early stages of sleep, rats’ brain activity reflected the memories they had just formed. Over time, this activity gradually transformed, preparing the brain to recall the learned ...
