In the lab, Johns Hopkins University neuroscientist Minhyeok Chang and colleagues identified tiny tubular bridges in the ...

The list of winners for this year’s Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition has finally been released, and the contest ...

Advancing our understanding of the human brain will require new insights into how neural circuitry works in mammals, including laboratory mice. These investigations require monitoring brain activity ...

Neuroscientists can now capture millisecond electrical changes in neurons in the cortex of an alert mouse, allowing tracing of neural signals, including subthreshold events, in the brain. The new ...

Electron microscope image of synapse in the cerebellum. This slice through the cerebellum cells shows the synapse between an inhibitory neuron (red) and a Purkinje cell (yellow). There, the tiny ...

Mini microscopes embedded into the brains of genetically engineered mice are providing researchers a window onto the inner workings of the mammalian mind. The tool provides an unprecedentedly wide ...

Golgi and Cajal's rivalry reshaped biology, leading to the birth of modern neuroscience with lasting impacts on global health ...

Neuroscience is having a mainstream moment thanks to America’s dear friend. TikTok has discovered the “Jennifer Aniston Neuron” — a single brain cell that’s “activated” by photos of the actress — and ...

From fluorescent ferns to sprawling neurons, this year’s winning photos reveal the structures and artistry of life seen through a microscope.
