After decades of dead ends, researchers have discovered a combination of genes that can generate new cells in the inner ...

Billions of birds share the planet with us. With their flamboyant plumage and joyous dawn serenades, many of them are impossible to miss. But how did they get here, how did they break the bounds of ...

An overview of transmission electron microscopy. X-Ray microscopy: An overview. Scanning Helium Microscopy. The different types of microscopy used in histology and their benefits. Why is the use of ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s research has focused on clearing the sticky amyloid plaques that build up in the brain. Those drugs can slow the disease, but only modestly, and they do little to stop the ...

Your skin is constantly monitoring temperature, telling your brain when something feels warm or cool. Scientists have long thought it does this using separate sets of nerve cells. A new study ...

A new study suggests that the human brain’s extraordinary abilities may depend not only on its vast number of neurons, but ...

Artificial intelligence faces an energy crisis stemming from a physical traffic jam inside modern computer chips. Processors must continually shuffle data, such as the billions of parameters in ...

A laser-based innovation could allow electron microscopes to reveal biological structures that have long remained beyond ...

Summary: A research team reports the development of a high-resolution, adaptive light-sheet microscopy system capable of rapid, real-time 3D imaging of brain-wide seizure dynamics. By integrating an ...

A small device that senses light and reacts like a brain cell could change how machines see and think. Built at the nanoscale ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons ...
