A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells—and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson's disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus ...

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 ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

Using machine learning to guide microscopes could reveal greater insights into the brain's connectome and deepen our ...

The DeepInMiniMicroscope developed by UC Davis electrical engineering professor Weijian Yang combines optical technology and machine learning to create a device that can take high-resolution ...

The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But to the human eye, proteins that are ...

A team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside, explains in a paper published in PLOS Pathogens how a microscopic parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, can significantly disrupt brain function ...

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 ...
