Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

Leiden researchers can now visualize the connections between brain cells. Their microscopy technique could significantly advance the human quest to understand brain functions. The study is published ...

A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...

Researchers have built the first ever map showing every single neuron and how they’re wired together in the brain of the fruit fly larva.This huge step forward in science will ultimately help us ...

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 developed a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures the electrical spikes of neurons at hundreds of frames per second in awake animals. WASHINGTON — Researchers have built a tiny, ...
