Researchers have now published the first complete map of the brain of such a larva. This “connectome”—the equivalent of a three-dimensional circuit diagram—charts the locations of a brain ...

We used a new theory of the biological basis of the Big Five personality traits to generate hypotheses about the association of each trait with the volume of different brain regions. Controlling for ...

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

Found: Brain structure that controls our behavior Date: May 19, 2020 Source: Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Summary: Solving problems, planning one's own actions ...

They assessed both global and regional differences in brain structure, looking at measures like volume, thickness, depth of brain folds, and surface area, primarily in the brain cortex.

The symptoms of schizophrenia vary greatly from person to person. A new study shows how these differences manifest themselves in the structure of the brain.

By mapping every synapse in the brain, researchers hope to create a "connectome" -- a diagram that would elucidate the brain's activity at a level of detail far outstripping today's most advanced ...

For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers ...

Brain structure corresponds to personality Date: June 23, 2010 Source: Association for Psychological Science Summary: Personalities come in all kinds. Now psychological scientists have found that ...

The fact that there are such pronounced differences in brain structure between people with different personality types suggests personality is at least partly genetic.
