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.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used functional MRI scans to track which brain regions activated when 176 young adults watched scenes from "The Social Network," "Home Alone" ...

What goes on in your brain while watching a movie? MIT neuroscientists have made remarkable progress in answering this question by creating the most detailed functional brain map to date. By observing ...

An overview of the principles and advantages of functional ultrasound imaging for brain and neuropharmacology research.

The brain is never completely at rest. Even without external input, it produces spontaneous neural activity that creates synchronized fluctuations across different regions - a process known as ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

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 ...
