These brain fragments ocame from an individual buried in a Victorian workhouse cemetery in the United Kingdom, some 200 years ago. No other soft tissue survived amongst the bones, which were ...

“LICONN brings us a step closer to assembling the puzzle pieces of the mammalian brain and better understanding its functioning both in health and disease,” Danzl concludes. Reference: Tavakoli MR, ...

From a cubic millimeter of tissue, scientists constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

Until now, whether living brain tissue could be shut down by freezing and then regain function was unknown. Cryopreservation involves more than just freezing.

Researchers found higher levels of microplastics in brain tissue than in liver and kidney tissue. UNM Health The human brain may contain up to a spoon’s worth of tiny plastic shards—not a ...

Ultra-thin sections of this brain were assembled in 3D using artificial intelligence tools. The team overcame considerable challenges: the AI models used to reconstruct the neurons required human ...

The first full map of fruit fly’s brain charted 139,255 nerve cells and their millions of connections. Tyler Sloan for FlyWire, Princeton University, (Dorkenwald et al/Nature, 2024) ...

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...

Now, scientists have also discovered the tiny pollutants in brain tissue, specifically the olfactory bulb that sits above the nose. They shared their findings Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open.

They found microplastics made up about 4,800 micrograms per gram of brain tissue, or 0.5 percent by weight, according to preliminary results released by Resource Square. [1] ...
