Scientists say their new insights into how a key brain protein works could help resolve a long-standing question in molecular ...
Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...
Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...
Experimental electron micrograph of purified synaptic vesicles (upper). Synaptic vesicles automatically identified in the image with a new computer program are highlighted with different colours and ...
Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...
A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to ...
Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...
New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in Nature has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning.
A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.
