Research Shows What Happens to Your Brain When You Watch a Movie
Neuroscientists have mapped brain activity in people watching movies, showing how different networks respond to scenes involving people, objects, and action. Complex scenes activated brain regions linked to executive functions like problem-solving, while simpler dialogues primarily engaged language processing areas. The study, based on data from th...

Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals 140,000 Neurons and New Nerve Cell Types in Fruit Fly Brain
A new brain map of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster reveals nearly 140,000 neurons and over 54.5 million synapses. Led by neuroscientists Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, the research has uncovered 4,581 previously unknown types of neurons. The project took over four years to complete, relying on AI-assisted electron microscopy.

Scientists Map Fruit Fly Brain, Breakthrough For Human, Animal Insights
Scientists announced on Thursday a milestone in neurobiological research with the mapping of the entire brain of an adult fruit fly, a feat that may provide insight into brains across the animal kingdom, including people.

Depression Could Be Linked With the Brain Network Responsible for Guiding Attention, Study Claims
Groundbreaking research has identified a larger salience network in individuals with depression, even before the onset of symptoms, which could revolutionise how depression is detected and treated. The study, which used precision functional mapping, suggests that this brain network remains stable over time and may offer a reliable biomarker for ear...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...

Scientists Unveil 'Most Accurate Map Yet' of the Human Brain
They discovered nearly 100 previously unreported regions of the organ's wrinkly outer layer - called the cerebral cortex or grey matter.

Brain Map To Help Decode Inner Thoughts
Scientists have built a "semantic atlas" or a brain map that identifies areas that respond to words having similar meanings. The finding can help give voice to those who cannot speak such as victims of stroke, brain damage or motor neuron diseases.

Mapping the brain, slice by slice
Dr. Jeff Lichtman likes his brains sliced thin -- very, very thin.Dr. Lichtman and his team of researchers at Harvard have built some unusual contraptions that carve off slivers of mouse brains as part of a quest to understand how...

Their goal is to run slice after minuscule slice under a powerful electron microscope, develop detailed...

Brain mapping test to nail Mumbai model's killer
The key accused in the Rinki Chaudhary murder case, Sahil Malik will now undergo a brain mapping test.The Goregaon police have been trying to extract a confession from the accused since he was arrested last Saturday. But he has denied his involvement and stuck to his initial account of the incident. "Malik has not been cooperating with police ...
