Two-photon microscopy captures axonal segments in a living brain, enabling researchers to quantify structural changes in specialized areas under noninvasive low-intensity repetitive transcranial ...
Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...
"This project grew from our ongoing effort to understand the early events that trigger axon and neuromuscular junction (the meeting point between motor neuron axons and muscle) degeneration in ALS," ...
A cross-sectional image of the mouse cerebral cortex in enlargement. The same method was applied as in the ferret. The cerebral cortex is shown in blue and some neurons are dyed green with GFP. In ...
Axonal boutons are specialized endings of an axon, which is the long slender part of a neuron that connects neurons by transmitting neural signals. These are sites where synapses form, allowing ...
In diseases driven by dysfunctional microglia, could replacing them with healthy versions prevent, or even reverse, pathology? Yes, suggest two papers in the June 18 Neuron. Both describe how mice ...
The human body has evolved to shield its vital organs, from the brain's hard skull and meninges to the ribs and sternum protecting the heart and lungs. Even abdominal structures are safeguarded by ...
Researchers in Australia study effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation in mouse models of debilitating illness. 2-photon microscopy captures axonal segments in a living brain. Click for info.
