What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

The wiring of one insect’s brain no longer contains much uncharted territory. All of the nerve cells — and virtually every connection between them — in a larval fruit fly brain have now been mapped, ...

This release is available in German. To explore the most intricate structures of the brain in order to decipher how it functions – Stefan Hell's team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for ...

UTA will soon add a new piece of cutting-edge equipment to its already impressive and growing research armamentarium - a type of super-resolution microscope (SRM) that allows biologists to see ...

After years of development, researchers have managed to shrink two-photon microscopy into a device that can be mounted on rodents’ heads without impeding behaviour. As Weijian Zong stared at a ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

A UCL research team has found clues as to why some nerve cells die in dementia and not others, through a new study in fruit flies. The study, published in Cell Reports, is helping to answer one of the ...
