The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

However, definitive proof of the neuron theory was obtained only after the introduction of the electron microscope, which allowed identification of synapses between neurons 21.

The fiber-optic microscopes developed by Schnitzer's team enable visualization of individual dendritic spines from a CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neuron in a live mouse. Scale bar, 5 μm.

Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

But now, an international team of scientists has created the first map showing every neuron and connection in an adult ... scanned using a high-powered electron microscope to reveal the individual ...

Scientists used 3D mini-brains grown from stem cells to study Huntington’s disease. They found early developmental changes linked to mitochondrial stress, suggesting that energy imbalance may play a ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.
