Here, we carried out computer-assisted 3-D reconstruction of parallel fibre–Purkinje cell synapses based on 250 nm serial sections using high-voltage electron microscopy (HVEM). The 3-D synapse models ...

Researchers have identified a unique mitochondrial process in CA2 neurons that supports learning, memory, and social ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

One major category of the next generation of energy-efficient microelectronic devices and information processing technologies ...

Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

A completely made-up scientific term is making the rounds in academic journals, and instead of being "oops!" one major ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components—the rotor and stators. Despite ...

Combine scanning electron microscopy and elemental analytics: the best-in-class EDS geometry of Sigma increases your analytical productivity, especially on beam sensitive samples. Get analytical ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...
