The sixth annual competition showcases scientific microscopic imaging, illuminating tiny parts of nature, from individual cells to arthropods, diatoms and a zebrafish brain ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original size ...

For decades, textbooks told students the human brain held roughly 100 billion neurons and that glial cells outnumbered them ...

CNW/ - A new Canada‑wide brain imaging platform will give scientists unprecedented views of how brain cells communicate, ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, this will also help us to treat learning disorders in a more targeted way and ...

Small plastic particles alter neuron growth, suggesting that particle size may be just as important as the amount of plastic ...
