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.

Making your own microscope slides can be fun and easy with these simple-to-follow tips — including dry and wet mounting, plus crafty alternatives. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

A stunning, up-close time-lapse of developing neurons in a chick embryo is this year’s first place winner of the annual Nikon Small World in Motion Video Competition. The 13th annual video competition ...

BU neuroscientist and collaborators have developed a multidisciplinary approach using a new microscope, artificial intelligence algorithm, and voltage indicators to better measure brain activity. When ...

Researchers have built a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures neuron activity with unprecedented speed that can be used in freely moving animals. The new tool could give scientists a more ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and ...

Spatial transcriptomics may have just achieved single-cell resolution. Researchers led by Evan Macosko, Fei Chen, and colleagues at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, bound together ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...
