We’re closer than ever to mapping the entire brain to the microscopic level. Hundreds of neuroscientists across the world recently characterized more than 3,000 human brain cell types as part of ...

The human brain is three times bigger than a chimp’s and more spherical than a Neanderthal’s. Within a maze of bumps and grooves, neurons converse in distinct patterns that give humans unique ...

The human brain is turning out to be much more complicated than scientists could have ever imagined (Credit: Mareen Fischinger/Forschungszentrum Jülich) Human brains are bigger than those of our ...

The brain atlas, a $375 million effort started in 2017, has identified more than 3,300 types of brain cells, an order of magnitude more than was previously reported.

What happens to our brains when we die? A new study could provide answers 06:41. Scientists have transplanted human brain cells into the brains of baby rats, where the cells grew and formed ...

In our study, we compared these connectivity fingerprints across the human, chimpanzee and macaque monkey brain. The chimpanzee is, together with the bonobo, our closest living relative.
