Photo-induced force microscopy began as a concept in the mind of Kumar Wickramasinghe when he was employed by IBM in the ...

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 ...

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

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

New neurons in your brain? A landmark study from Karolinska Institutet finds adults keep forming brain cells into the old age ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working ...

A massive, multi-year project led by over 150 scientists has produced the most detailed map yet of how visual information travels through the brain – revealing more than 500 million connections in a ...

The study, published in the journal Neuron, highlights microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, as central players in both the protective and harmful responses associated with the disease. The ...

Researchers at the Carney Institute for Brain Science are taking creative approaches with a super-resolution microscope to advance their neuroscience investigations in different directions.

Your brain can still make new neurons when you're an adult. But how does the rare birth of these new neurons contribute to cognitive function? Neurons are the cells that govern brain ...

A team of Chinese scientists crafted a super intravital microscope that is capable of seeing clearly the entire three-dimensional (3D) interactions of a large-scale cell's network at the mammalian ...
