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

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

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 ...

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.

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.

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

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

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods ...

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

A project at Trinity College Dublin is now hosting Ireland's first BioBrillouin microscope instrument, applying Brillouin spectroscopy to life sciences and medicine. This should in particular enhance ...
