Dopamine is a neurotransmitter with which neurons communicate to perform all kinds of tasks ... and when it disappears from some regions of the brain, it can cause Parkinson’s disease. That is why ...

A new microscopy pipeline called “LICONN” (light-microscopy-based connectomics), developed at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), now offers a breakthrough. LICONN is the first ...

Summary: A revolutionary microscopy method called LICONN enables scientists to reconstruct brain tissue and map synaptic connections using standard light microscopes. By embedding brain tissue in ...

The researchers claim LICONN is the first technology beyond electron microscopy (EM) that is capable of reconstructing brain tissue with all the synaptic connections between neurons.

Summary: Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, opens channels in brain cells. These channels, known as AMPA ...

These stunning images show the world from under a microscope From spines on neurons to pollen on an insect’s eye, the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo contest offer a kaleidoscopic glimpse ...

This image could be hung in a gallery, but it started life as a tiny chunk of a woman’s brain. In 2014, a woman undergoing surgery for epilepsy had a tiny chunk of her cerebral cortex removed.

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 ...

Another technique, cryo-electron microscopy, or cryo-EM, won a Nobel Prize in 2017 for bringing even more complex, dynamic molecules into view by flash-freezing them.
