Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.

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 ...

Figure 1. Conceptual illustration of label-free, multiphoton photoacoustic microscope (LF-MP-PAM). Near-infrared femtosecond laser enable us to observe endogenous NAD(P)H of neurons in brain slice and ...

Neuroscientists are closing in on a long elusive goal: pinpointing the exact brain cells that make anxiety surge or suddenly recede. In a series of experiments in mice, researchers have identified ...

About one in five people living in the U.S. suffer from an anxiety disorder, but it turns out that immune cells, rather than neurons, control your anxiety levels.

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Two Miami researchers have learned how to “rescue” malfunctioning brain cells linked to autism spectrum disorder by restoring the electrical signals that allow neurons to communicate. Their ...
