A team of neuroscientists in Australia has found that restoring copper levels in the brain dramatically reduced Parkinson-like damage in mice. The approach restored a protein’s function, and the same ...

The findings of two recent studies give hope that the disease could one day be reversed in humans—but experts warn that this ...

Due to the lack of objectivity of electron microscope focusing in traditional manual focusing, resulting in inaccurate image focusing, this paper proposes a high-precision focusing method for electron ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

Automating the analysis portion of materials characterization by electron microscopy (EM) has the potential to accelerate the process of scientific discovery. To this end, we present a Bayesian ...

Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images were captured with a scanning electron microscope (Leo Supra 35) equipped with an INCAx-Sight Oxford Instruments X-EDS.

Scientists have demonstrated the role of lysosomal vesicles in transporting alpha-synuclein aggregates, responsible for Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, between neurons. These ...

In order to understand the brain, we need to first understand the morphology of neurons. In the neurobiology community, there have been recent pushes to analyze both neuron connectivity and the ...
