Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

Scientists have engineered a protein able to record the incoming chemical signals of brain cells (as opposed to just their ...

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 ...

Scientists developed two new sensors that can detect brain cell communication in real time, tracking chemical messages ...

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 ...

UCLA Health 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 ...

In the late 1800s, Spanish neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal drew hundreds of images of neurons. His exquisite work influenced our understanding of what they look like: Cells with a bulbous center ...

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 ...
