The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original size ...

CNW/ - A new Canada‑wide brain imaging platform will give scientists unprecedented views of how brain cells communicate, ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

For decades, textbooks told students the human brain held roughly 100 billion neurons and that glial cells outnumbered them ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...

Small plastic particles alter neuron growth, suggesting that particle size may be just as important as the amount of plastic ...

To function properly, neurons need to recycle cellular waste before it becomes toxic. When neurons can no longer do that, ...
