Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

The research group led by Professor Sense Jan van der Molen uses a microscope that reveals how a brain structure is built. It can do so down to the level of a synapse, the tiny junction through which ...

Researchers at Cornell have unveiled an advanced imaging technology capable of unprecedented deep and wide-field visualization of brain activity at single-cell resolution. The innovative microscope, ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- At the Neuroscience 2024 conference, Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the release of the OptoVolt™ module to further expand the advanced neuroscience ...

Researchers identify "Otp" as a molecular switch in the brain that determines the balance of hunger and satiety neurons, shaping lifelong obesity risk.

The mysteries of the brain have captivated scientists for more than 100 years, most notably illustrated in the detailed drawings of neuroanatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. These drawings and his ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the University of Colorado Boulder have won a $2 million grant allowing them to refine a unique microscope they have developed ...

Compared to traditional electron microscopy, it lowers both cost and technical barriers. "At the current resolution of the images—20 nanometers—synapses can already be identified. We managed to ...
