By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Everything the brain does—from storing memories to interpreting sights to regulating emotions—requires energy, all produced by cellular organelles called mitochondria. However, surprisingly little is ...

Mapping the brain is one of the biggest challenges in modern science. Researchers are trying to understand how billions of brain cells connect and communicate, almost like building a wiring diagram ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Neuroscientists have long held that the brain reorganizes itself when a body part is amputated. A new ...
