Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Every week, Harvard Medical School neuro-oncologist Annie Hsieh treats patients with gliomas—the most common type of brain cancer, including the deadliest, glioblastoma. After Hsieh's neurosurgeon ...

Understanding the brain's functional architecture is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. The connections between neurons ultimately dictate how information is processed, transmitted, stored, and ...
