Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for between 60 per cent and 70 per cent of all ...

Scientists have found a way to map the intricate patterns of cells in mouse brain tissue with an off-the-shelf light microscope, using a trick that inflates a tiny sample to 16 times its original ...

Biologists and machine-learning experts spent 10 years building an interactive map of the brain tissue, which contains approximately 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses.

These brain cells, smaller than neurons but just as complex, are known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells, or OPCs for short. "I saw something in them which had never been seen before," Buchanan said.

Kim Morgan has spent the last decade getting really, really close up to blood cells, skin flakes and more. Her artwork using electron microscope images is now on exhibition at the Confederation ...

While the original electron microscope arrived in the early 1930’s (there’s still a controversy to this day over who invented the very first one), scientists have relied on what are known as ...

Scientists have imaged a tiny fragment of brain in unprecedented detail, showing detailed connections between individual neurons. The method could help researchers better understand brain circuits.

Scanning electron microscope image of a neural culture that has been growing for more than six months. Dr Brett J. Kagan Scientists used software to analyze instances when the neurons missed.

Using an electron microscopy approach to visualize thin slices of brain tissue in 3D, these filaments can be seen in their native environment. Amyloid-β and tau filaments viewed in detail in a ...

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the ...

We may finally know how covid-19 enters the brain: new research suggests the virus responsible stimulates the growth of tiny tubes between nose and brain cells that it can tunnel through.. Covid ...

The 3D map covers a volume of about one cubic millimetre, one-millionth of a whole brain, and contains roughly 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses — the connections between neurons. It ...
