Their goal is to run slice after minuscule slice under a powerful electron microscope, develop detailed pictures of the brain’s complex wiring and then stitch the images back together. In short, they ...

Novel, ring-inserts' are prepared (1) and loaded with growth factors of interest using microcontact printing (2). Brain slices taken from postnatal day 8-10 mice are added (3) and nerve fibers grow ...

Researchers combined hyperspectral Raman imaging with machine learning to chart Alzheimer’s-related chemistry across entire brains. The study highlights uneven disease patterns and metabolic ...

This study uses a Bayesian framework to characterize latent brain state dynamics associated with memory encoding and performance in children, as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fibre labyrinth of our brain. Before analysing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in ...

The largest and most comprehensive 3D map of a mammalian brain to date offers an unprecedented insight into how neurons connect and function. The new map, which captures a cubic millimetre of a ...

In new research published in Nature, scientists have produced the first comprehensive atlas of the tiny energy producers in the human brain. By slicing a donated brain into more than seven hundred ...
