The brain is one of the most mysterious parts of the human body, generating emotions, thoughts, and cognition. But there's still so much we don't know...

The Allen Institute of Brain Science launched three new projects to study the brain at a higher caliber in the hopes of helping human health.

A complete map of all the connections in an entire mammalian brain may be in sight. Allen Institute researchers have just launched three new projects to construct large, detailed maps of neuronal connections in sections of the mouse and macaque brains, with an eye toward creating full wiring diagrams of these animals' brains in the future.

The projects are aimed at helping to unravel the mysteries of brain function and disease by uncovering the logic behind the brain's neural code.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Alle Davis and Maxine Harrison Professor of Neurosciences Anthony Zador, and colleagues Xiaoyin Chen and Yu-Chi Sun, published a new technique in Nature Neuroscience for figuring out connection...
