Brain mapping is a fascinating scientific endeavour that investigates how our brains are structured and how they change over time. This process examines how learning, ageing, mental illness ...

From this information, he was able to map the motor cortex, the very part of the brain you can map in this feature's activity.

Yet it is increasingly clear that cognitive functions cannot be pinned to spots on the brain like towns on a map. A given mental task may involve a complicated web of circuits, which interact in ...

Variations in individual brain anatomy is another challenge ... Wang’s team uses an MRI technique named ‘quantitative susceptibility mapping’ (QSM) to improve the targeting of the ...

Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other disciplines, to map the brain at a mechanistic level. Humans have an estimated ...

At Detroit’s Wayne State University, she and her team use MRI technology to check the growth of a fetus’s brain and map the neural connectivity within it, creating a groundbreaking snapshot of ...

At the SFU's School of Engineering Science, Medical Image Analysis Laboratory, we are working on three main goals for mapping brain structure and function: To make very detailed morphometric ...

The complexity of the human brain—86 billion neurons strong with more than 100 trillion connections—enables abstract thinking, language acquisition, advanced reasoning and problem-solving ...

New research suggests that Alzheimer’s disease damages the brain in two separate phases, with the first phase happening ...

A new study by researchers at the Department of Molecular Medicine at SDU sheds light on one of the most severe consequences of stroke: damage to the brain's "cables"—the so-called nerve fibers—which ...

A new study, led by USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI), will explore structural alterations in the brains of people with bipolar disorder (BD), a chronic ...
