New 3d neuronal labeling technique provides most comprehensive study of cortical circuitry to date.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute, VU University Amsterdam and Max Planck Florida Institute state that they have succeeded in reconstructing the neuronal networks that interconnect the elementary units of sensory cortex, cortical columns.  The opensource study is published in the journal Cerebral Cortex. The team state that a key challenge in neuroscience research is identifying organizational principles of how the brain integrates sensory information … Continue reading New 3d neuronal labeling technique provides most comprehensive study of cortical circuitry to date.
