Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...
"This mathematical model that is perfectly matched with experiments is a new microscope," Mehta added. "It reveals something that no existing microscope could see without it. No matter how many ...
The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons constantly edit and remodel the tiny connections called synapses that they make with other neurons to form circuits. To study ...
Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...
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 ...
For decades, textbooks told students the human brain held roughly 100 billion neurons and that glial cells outnumbered them ...
The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. To examine the differential response to nutrients, we applied each nutrient to the mucosa sequentially and imaged the same ...
The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Together, these findings indicate that: (1) SNI induces neuronal hyperactivity primarily in small-sized neurons; and (2) ...
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 discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and ...
A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.
