Could We Ever Retrieve Memories from a Dead Person's Brain? Neuroscientists Weigh In
Neuroscientists are exploring whether memories can be retrieved from a deceased person’s brain, but current research indicates significant challenges. Memories are thought to be stored in the brain as engrams, which are formed by groups of neurons in the hippocampus and other regions. While some studies have identified these engrams in animals, r...

Human Cell Atlas Mapping 37 Trillion Human Cells for Disease Insights
The Human Cell Atlas project has made significant strides in mapping the 37 trillion cells of the human body. Recent studies provide detailed insights into organs like the brain, lungs, and digestive system. The research holds great promise for understanding diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The team plans to release a comprehen...

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.

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...

Cerebral Cortex of Developing Human Brain Mapped Using High-Quality MRI Scan Data
Scientists have successfully mapped the surface of the cerebral cortex of the young human brain in impressively high resolution. The mapping, done using high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, showed development in the key regions of the brain from two months before an individual's birth to two months after it.

She's World-Renowned For Studying Empathy, But Colleagues Call Her Bully
If there is anyone who knows the potentially devastating effects of hurt feelings, it is Tania Singer. The 48-year-old neuroscientist has spent her career looking at the physical, social, even economic benefits of making people more empathetic. She has mapped the brains of people watching their loved ones experiencing pain, for example, and sought ...

Lie Detector Test For Kerala Student Who Denied Slashing Swami's Genitals
A young woman in Kerala will have to take a lie detector test along with brain mapping, which is the equivalent of fingerprinting the mind, a court ruled today, after she recanted earlier statements and said she had neither been raped by a self-declared godman nor chopped off his genitals in revenge.
