A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...
Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
A neuron in a hippocampal slice from the mouse model developed by the team, in which the glutamate receptor GluA2 is 'labelled' to create a stain of an isolated neuron. Magenta: stain of GluA2, on the ...
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 ...
A team of Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) biologists has invented a miniature microscope to see the inner workings of mice brains. The technology could eventually be used to image brain tumors and ...
