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.

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 ...

Researchers at UC Davis have created a miniaturized microscope for real-time, high-resolution, non-invasive imaging of brain activity in mice. The device is a significant step toward revolutionizing ...

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 ...

Fascinating new findings into how clusters of 'brain stars' retain memories has changed what we know about how they're held in our minds. Baylor College of Medicine researchers have been investigating ...

Nikon just announced the winners of the 2024 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, where scientific microscope images become art. This year’s top prize went to Bruno Cisterna, who (assisted ...

Scientists have long known that the hippocampus is essential for forming new memories. It helps record where and when things ...

The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But to the human eye, proteins that are ...

In Alzheimer’s disease, Hameroff says, scientists don’t know whether the microtubules disintegrate and release the tau or whether the tau falls off because of a malfunction that weakens the bond. The ...
