The neurons in our brain that underlie thought connect to each other using tiny branch-like structures on their surfaces ...

A new technique for creating transparent tissue has been developed that can be used to illuminate 3-D brain anatomy at very high resolutions. In recent years, generating see-through tissue--a process ...

Poultry scientists are unraveling the complexities of bird brains and finding less expensive ways to do it. The scientists mapped the intricate neurological pathways that control vision in chickens ...

Scientists at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan have developed a new method for creating transparent tissue that can be used to illuminate 3D brain anatomy at high resolutions. Published in ...

Even cardiologists might not know — or pay attention to — the intracardiac nervous system. This “little brain of the heart” is a system of nerves working in concert with the brain itself to keep ...

Our hearts are primarily controlled by the brain and autonomic nervous system, but we also have a backup. The heart has its own mini-brain called the intracardiac nervous system (ICN), which fine ...

A 3D wiring diagram, the largest of its kind, containing hundreds of thousands of cells and nearly half a billion connections of a mouse brain has been created by researchers at Baylor College of ...

This hack is a strange mixture of awesome and ghoulish. [Andrew Sink] created a 3D printed version of his brain. He received a CD from an MRI session that contained the data obtained by the scan. Not ...
