Neuroscientists have long dreamed of watching thoughts unfold as they happen, without disturbing the fragile tissue that ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — ...

A new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and touch. When a person feels ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

A new way of imaging the brain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not directly detect neural activity as originally reported, according to scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute. The method, ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

Scientists at Brown University have developed CaBLAM, a bioluminescent tool that allows long-term, high-resolution imaging of living brain cells without external light.

A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

Researchers have come up with a clever new way of freezing brain cells just as they fire out a signal, meaning processes that ...
