Mapping the human brain's network of interconnections, known as the connectome is typically done with help from computational tools because recreating interconnections between different brain regions ...

For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...

Harvard researchers built a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip packed with 4,096 microhole electrode arrays, allowing them to record electrical activity across several neural cells.
