Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed an active pixel power control system that adjusts laser brightness pixel-by-pixel during brain imaging. The technique ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.

This study presents important findings for the understanding of central brain circuits that underlie nociception-induced escape. Using a laser-based nociception assay, chronic neuronal silencing, ...

MIT researchers tracked activity across a worm’s entire nervous system, revealing how odors trigger intentional navigation.

Guernsey Motor Neurone charity has donated £30,000 to support a university project with its Motor Neurone Disease research A Guernsey charity has donated £30,000 to support a three-year biomedical ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are now using the dystopian tech to power AI data centers. Australian biotech ...

Perhaps they can take a peek into the infinitesimal world outside with Bubo, a 2-in-1 digital microscope currently on Kickstarter. Designed for ease of use by curious novices and students alike, Bubo ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

What just happened? A team of physicists at MIT has managed to do something long thought impossible: peer into the ultrafast, quantum-scale motion of superconducting electrons. Using a microscope ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka report two new fluorescent indicators that can be used to visualize dynamic contacts between cells and between extensions of the same neuronal cell in ...

The scientist Stephen Hawking lived with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common type of motor neurone disease, for 55 years. He was one of the longest-surviving people with the condition ...
