False colored scanning electron microscope image of neurons cultured on top of the electrode array. Actual recording experiments are performed with much higher neuron densities containing three to ...

Scientists have revealed the minute properties of dendritic trees by reconstructing 3-D images using the advanced electron microscope technology. The research team demonstrated the principle that ...

Using a new dataset of electron microscopy images of the entire adult female fruit fly brain, scientists have traced a collection of neurons.

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 results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

With scanning electron microscopy, an electron beam scans the surface of a tissue section. A single electron microscope image thus corresponds to a cross-sectional view through the tissue.

Stunning images show the most detailed map of the brain ever produced, revealing each of the 50 million connections which allow for complex behaviour.

The images are a "huge step forward" in understanding disorders such as autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson's Disease.

Scientists have managed to obtain 3-D images of the vesicles and filaments involved in communication between neurons. The method is based on a novel technique in electron microscopy, which cools ...

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 ...
