A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and touch. When a person feels ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

A new way of imaging the brain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not directly detect neural activity as originally reported, according to scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute. The method, ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — ...

A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that normally happen too quickly to observe can be studied in detail – and ...

Volumetric imaging in the near-infrared of neuronal activity in zebrafish larvae with WHaloCaMP. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...

Yu Shin Kim, M.S., Ph.D., has been appointed professor in the Department of Endodontics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry. Kim is internationally recognized for ...
