The brain is one of the most sophisticated systems known, embodying remarkable complexity — and diversity. Structurally, it houses roughly 86 billion neurons ... the journal Neuron, Kubo and ...

In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do ... could help to explain this functional diversity. The activity of an individual neuron is constrained by the anatomical ...

Earlier studies mostly focused on neurogenesis—the generation of neurons in the brain—and fast neuron migration all moving in one direction early in the development of an embryo. But ...

and delivery modes and what is known about the development of neuronal pathways. The brain produces approximately one hundred billion cells, including neurons, in the ventricular and ...

While most of the brain’s neurons are thought to be created before birth, an explosion in neural connections, the myelination of axons, and other developments boost its total volume. Research ...
