Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

In chronic neurodegeneration associated with prion disease, reactive microglia adopt a highly mobile, neuron-by-neuron surveillance strategy, replacing homeostatic process-based monitoring with ...

Researchers have developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron. With a signal processing speed of 10 ...

Another piece of the dementia puzzle may finally have been found. In A Nutshell Scientists discovered ultrathin tubes (hundreds of nanometers wide) connecting brain cells that transport proteins and ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Curiosis has a line of Automated Live Cell Imaging Systems called the Celloger series. Using specialized microscopes and labeling procedures, live cell imaging enables real-time observation and ...
