Scientists Map Brain Activity Across 95% of the Mammalian Brain in Landmark Study
In a historic collaboration, scientists created the first comprehensive mammalian brain activity map. The project, led by the International Brain Laboratory, analyzed data from 600,000 cells across 139 mice. Findings revealed that decision-making and memory are spread across the brain, not confined to specific regions as previously believed.
