Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original size ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

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 new Canada‑wide brain imaging platform will give scientists unprecedented views of how brain cells communicate, change, and fail in disease, bringing researchers one step closer to understanding ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...

Small plastic particles alter neuron growth, suggesting that particle size may be just as important as the amount of plastic ...

Omega-3 fish oil supplements preserved the brain regions that control breathing and restored normal breathing rates in mice ...
