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 ...

Awake craniotomy remains at the forefront of neurosurgical innovation, allowing for the resection of brain tumours adjacent to critical functional areas while minimising neurological deficits. This ...

SAN DIEGO — Like fingerprints, human brains are unique. Scientists are working to map the variability of individual brains and to inform personalized therapeutics for treatment-resistant disease.

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Over the past few years, many neuroscientists have been trying to map large sections of brain tissue using a technique known as electron microscopy. This is a tool that utilizes applied beams of ...

Ultrafast functional Doppler ultrasound (fUS) is based on the principles of conventional Doppler ultrasonography but operates at an extremely fast frame rate. This significantly improves ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...
