I threw down a bit of a challenge last month at the Association of Medical Illustrators Conference in Minnesota. But first, I had to–somewhat unexpectedly–accept some challenges presented by others.

AI is transforming neuroscience by converting complex brain data into accurate, visually rich diagrams. From decoding dreams to simulating visual perception, researchers now have tools to illustrate ...

Learning anatomy doesn’t have to feel like drowning in endless terms. By combining active recall, mnemonics, spaced repetition, and 3D visualization, you can make complex structures stick. These ...

A subset of more than 1,000 neurons, representing just a snapshot of the complexity mapped within a cubic millimeter of mouse brain tissue Allen Institute In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it ...

The rapid ascent of large-scale artificial intelligence has provided neuroscience with a new set of powerful tools for modeling complex cognitive functions.

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

Artist Greg Dunn creates breathtaking renderings of neurons and their surrounding anatomy Victoria Sayo Turner | Mass Media Fellow, AAAS Wispy gold interneurons and astrocyte cells surround large ...

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...

The cerebral cortex is your brain’s outermost layer. It has a wrinkled appearance due to the grooves and folds that increase its surface area. Here, we look at the anatomy of the cerebral cortex and ...
