Compared to traditional electron microscopy, it lowers both cost and technical barriers. "At the current resolution of the images—20 nanometers—synapses can already be identified. We managed to ...

Researchers discover that rare axo-axonic synapses form a decentralized network of "broker" neurons to drive split-second fly ...

Electron microscope image of neurons in the cerebellum. This slice through the cells in the cerebellum shows a dendritic branch of a Purkinje cell and its side arms (yellow) receiving several ...

Electron microscope image of synapse in the cerebellum. This slice through the cerebellum cells shows the synapse between an inhibitory neuron (red) and a Purkinje cell (yellow). There, the tiny ...

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 ...
