Scientists Build One of the Most Detailed Digital Simulations of the Mouse Cortex Using Japan’s Fugaku Supercomputer
Researchers from the Allen Institute and Japan’s University of Electro-Communications have built one of the most detailed mouse cortex simulations ever created. Using Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer, the team modeled around 10 million neurons and 26 billion synapses, recreating realistic structure and activity. The virtual cortex offers a new plat...

US Teens Brain Structure Study Links Early Substance Use Risk
A study of teenagers in the US has revealed distinct differences in brain structures between those resorting to substance use, including alcohol and cannabis, before turning 15 and those not.

New Study Finds Axons May Resemble 'Strings of Beads' Instead of Smooth Lines
A recent study challenges the traditional view of axons as smooth, cylindrical fibres, revealing they may actually resemble "strings of beads" or nanoscopic varicosities. Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University using a high-pressure freezing imaging method, the discovery showed rotund blobs connected by thin tubes within axons. These s...

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...

Synthetic Mouse Embryo With Developed Brain Grown Using Stem Cells
Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.
