My late father, Richard Bergland, M.D. (1932-2007) published The Fabric of Mind in 1986. For the book cover, dad insisted on a sagittal plane view; he liked how this vantage point elucidates major ...

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...

Neuroscientists distinguish brain regions based on what they do, but now have a new way to overlay information about how they are built, too. To understand the massive capabilities and complexities of ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

The default mode network (DMN) is a set of interconnected brain regions known to be most active when humans are awake but not engaged in physical activities, such as relaxing, resting or daydreaming.

When removing cancerous tissue in the brain, neurosurgeons often use "awake brain mapping" to minimize the risk of causing unintended disruptions to a patient's quality of life while removing as much ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

Chemists have succeeded in mapping structures and functions of a transient enzyme state. By modifying the enzyme adenylate kinase, researchers were able to isolate the molecule and study it using the ...
