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 ...

Using a piece of that mouse's brain about the size of a poppy seed, the researchers identified those neurons and traced how they communicated via branch-like fibers through a surprising 500 million ...

It is estimated that a single neuron has about 10,000 synapses to communicate with another neuron, and yet much neuroscience is still focused on stimulating larger regions of the brain, known as bulk ...

A new microscopy system has been designed for fast, clear and frequent imaging of the living brain, providing new insights into neuroplasticity.

UCLA Health researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep.

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons p… ...

The story of neuroscience had many twists and turns that were fuelled by new inventions, competing theories, and bitter rivalries. Here is a brief history of neuroscience.

Neuroscientists have been mapping and recreating the nervous systems and brains of various animals since the microscope was invented, and have even been able to map out entire brain structures than… ...

A segment of a cortical neuron dendrite: Top: Two photon image showing red cell fill and synapse label pSD-95 (teal). Middle: Same segment processed with MAP labeled with anti-RFP (red) to label ...

Understanding when and how neurons die is an important part of research on neurodegenerative diseases like Lou Gehrig’s, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
