A new study shows that the brain activity behind decision-making is far more widespread across the organ than first thought.

The moon landings and human genome project shaped culture. This generation's big science missions like the brain-mapping initiative may do the same.

It describes the technologies that could be applied and developed for the Brain Activity Mapping Project, which aims to do for the brain what the Human Genome Project did for genetics.

The first digital 3D atlas of every cell in the mouse brain provides neuroscientists with previously unavailable information on major cell types, numbers and positions in all 737 brain regions ...

This spring, President Obama announced what could be this generation's defining national science effort — an ambitious mission to map the human brain. In its size and scope, the project could ...

The European Human Brain Project's effort to simulate the entire brain in a supercomputer is premature, a new report says Just like the human brain itself, the European Commission’s billion-euro ...

The Human Brain Project is an ambitious initiative that seeks to understand how the brain works by simulating it with technology. Could it help us understand the nature of our own consciouness?

The Obama Administration officially announced the launch of a project to map the function of the human brain on April 2.
