A newly developed microscope is providing scientists with a greatly enhanced tool to study how neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease affect neuron communication. The ...

Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

Researchers at MIT and the University of Vienna have created an imaging system that reveals neural activity throughout the brains of living animals. The technique can generate 3-D movies of entire ...

How does the brain produce behavior? Studying the brain during behavior is most informative when the animal is free to interact with its environment in any way it chooses. This requires small ...

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 ...

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 built the first ever map showing every single neuron and how they’re wired together in the brain of the fruit fly larva.This huge step forward in science will ultimately help us ...

A newly developed microscope is providing scientists with a greatly enhanced tool to study how neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease affect neuron communication. The ...

Researchers developed a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures the electrical spikes of neurons at hundreds of frames per second in awake animals. WASHINGTON — Researchers have built a tiny, ...
