Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Researchers have developed the most detailed 3D computational models of key brain regions, including the hippocampus and ...

Matt Levine is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist. A former investment banker at Goldman Sachs, he was a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz; a clerk for the U.S. Court of ...

The researchers believe that these simulations will improve as new data on fly neuron biophysics, such as inhibitory synapse properties, become available. Data acquisition through electron microscopy ...

Results of plasticity simulations were compared to electron microscopy data and a predicted motif effect on synapse strength was confirmed. "We have long known that brain networks are complex and ...

Resembling a seahorse, as its name implies from the Greek words 'hippos' (horse) and 'kampus' (sea monster), the hippocampus is a brain region crucial for memory formation. But until recently, ...

Scientists at EPFL’s Blue Brain Project, together with collaborators and contributors all over the world have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and ...

A study from ISTA and Max Planck Institute reveals how hippocampal mossy fiber synapses encode memory. Using live brain ...

Given their non-migratory nature within the mineralized matrix, their unique dendrites are crucial for cell-to-cell communication in response to both intracellular and extracellular stimuli, such as ...
