The mysteries of the brain have captivated scientists for more than 100 years, most notably illustrated in the detailed drawings of neuroanatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. These drawings and his ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has emerged as a powerful tool in structural biology, allowing researchers to visualize biological macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. This technique is ...

Introducing the PEEM microscope in brain research In a joint Chicago-Leiden project, Photoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) is introduced as a new tool for imaging brain tissue. In PEEM, the ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

(A–C) Representative images reconstructed by conventional method (left) and new method (right) of microtubules, nuclear pore complexes and F-actin samples. The regions enclosed by the white boxes are ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Axons are the brain’s information highways, transporting cellular cargo, chemical signals, and electrical impulses to other cells. These “roads” are typically depicted as smooth and cylindrical, with ...
