Imagine watching a conversation between brain cells, seeing chemical messages pass from one neuron to another. Scientists can ...

Using advanced microscopes that capture brain cell anatomy and activity, a portion of a mouse's brain was mapped and rendered into a 3D atlas that creates new possibilities for neuroscience. When you ...

Figure 1. Conceptual illustration of label-free, multiphoton photoacoustic microscope (LF-MP-PAM). Near-infrared femtosecond laser enable us to observe endogenous NAD(P)H of neurons in brain slice and ...

For decades, neuroscientists focused almost exclusively on only half of the cells in the brain. Neurons were the main players, they thought, and everything else was made up of uninteresting support ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

Replacing a missing brain lipid may calm overactive blood vessels and restore healthy blood flow—opening a new path toward treating dementia.

Researchers at University of California Davis (UC Davis) have designed a new laser-scanning approach to microscopy that is expected to open doors to brain-imaging in mouse models with improved speed ...
