Expansion microscopy enabled researchers to count the number of connections between neurons (green points on purple neuron). Neurons exposed to amyloid-beta formed more connections (SSBs = single ...

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

ALBAWABA - Concerns recently flooded social media after Biotechnology Research Eon Systems PBC revealed that it uploaded a fruit fly's brain into a comp ...

Researchers developed a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures the electrical spikes of neurons at hundreds of frames per second in awake animals. WASHINGTON — Researchers have built a tiny, ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...
