For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

The next time you reach for a memory or make a quick choice, a storm of tiny signals races through your brain. Scientists can ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Nothing teaches us how the brain works like neurosurgery, maintains Theodore Schwartz, MD, of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. "We tend to think about neuroscientists, neurologists, and ...

A team of researchers have built a vision implant with tiny electrodes the size of a neuron, seeking to help blind people see again. The development of vision implants first emerged in the 1990s. The ...

Neurodiversity advocates have long argued that autistic brains are differently wired. Now, new evidence shows they are right. Researchers have found atypical numbers of brain cells in two key areas of ...

Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.
