The human brain is comprised of a number of different regions. Each of these regions are vitally important with highly specialized functions. The brain is roughly divided into three parts which ...

A new resource will allow scientists to explore the anatomy of a single brain in three dimensions at far greater detail than before, a possibility its creators hope will guide the quest to map ...

This blog post centers on relationships between brain structures and the (fractal-like) “patterns of mind” that our brains produce; these are the so-called conscious correlates or signatures ...

Explore brain anatomy, from the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem, to the deep structures within the brain, such as the limbic system and basal ganglia. Menu. Newsletters Search.

Using a novel approach of precision neuroimaging and high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), neuroscientists and physicists at Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and ...

From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...

Brain atlases are reference systems that associate neuroanatomical labels (nomenclature) with canonical representations of anatomy in a three-dimensional coordinate system. These systems commonly ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

By rushing live brain cells from the operating room to the lab, scientists have been able to create three-dimensional reconstructions of cells that reveal their electrical behavior and shape.
