Visualization of 75,000 neurons (colored dots) active across the brain of an adult mouse across different stages of a decision-making task. Dot size reflects a cell’s average firing rate, such that ...

A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

Neuroscientists from 22 labs joined forces in an unprecedented international partnership to produce a landmark achievement: a neural map that shows activity across the entire brain during ...

Researchers have completed the first-ever activity map of a mammalian brain in a groundbreaking duo of studies, and it has rewritten scientists' understanding of how decisions are made. The project, ...

We’re constantly making decisions. If I get the pumpkin spice latte, would it make me happier than my usual black coffee? If I go the scenic route on a trip, would it be worth the extra time? Past and ...
