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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New neural network tools automate cell alignment and labeling in microscopy, achieving near-human accuracy and dramatically ...

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, ...
