For the first time, researchers have developed a microscope capable of observing -- and manipulating -- neural activity in the brains of live animals at the scale of a single cell with millisecond ...

A microscope atop an animal's head, scientists have found, provides a better view of how the brain processes visual and other stimuli on the move. The device contains a laser, which can scan the ...

Researchers have developed a head-mounted miniature microscope that can be used to image activity from the entire outer part of the brain, or cortex, in freely behaving mice. When combined with ...

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 ...

Miniature microscopes attached to the heads of living mice have enabled researchers to gain important insights about the neuronal pathways behind complex behaviors. Now, researchers report a new ...

The chips that drive everyday electronic gadgets such as personal computers and smartphones are made in semiconductor fabrication plants. These plants employ powerful transmission electron microscopes ...

BU neuroscientist and collaborators have developed a multidisciplinary approach using a new microscope, artificial intelligence algorithm, and voltage indicators to better measure brain activity. When ...

While the spinal cord is known to play an essential role in relaying pain signals, technology has limited scientists’ understanding of how this process occurs on a cellular level. Despite progress in ...

Researchers have developed a novel robot microscope system that automatically tracks a freely moving small animal and manipulates its brain activity with 'projection mapping.' Researchers from Osaka ...

Lightweight device broadens field of view by an order of magnitude over current state of the art VANCOUVER -- Miniature microscopes attached to the heads of living mice have enabled researchers to ...
