New research challenges the century-old practice of mapping the brain based on how tissue looks under a microscope. By analyzing electrical signals from thousands of neurons in mice, scientists ...

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 ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

A fluorescence-microscopy method for tracing neuronal connections in the brain could make connectomics studies more widely accessible for neuroscientists. Read the paper: Light-microscopy-based ...

It’s a bit like seeing a world in a grain of sand. Except the view, in this case, is the exquisite detail inside a bit of human brain about half the size of a grain of rice. Held in that minuscule ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

The research group led by Professor Sense Jan van der Molen uses a microscope that reveals how a brain structure is built. It can do so down to the level of a synapse, the tiny junction through which ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

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? Researchers know that new neurons contribute to memory ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. A cubic millimeter is, by all accounts, tiny. It’s barely ...
