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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists restored stroke-damaged brain tissue in mice, raising hopes that recovery may begin long after a stroke.

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

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