Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have begun an ambitious project to study if living neurons can transmit light through their axons—the long, tail-like nerve fibers of neurons that resemble ...
