Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is the dynamic regulation of cerebral blood flow in response to neural activity. Specifically, when neurons become active, nearby blood vessels dilate to increase blood ...

Acute alcohol exposure impairs CRF-induced cholinergic activity.

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

New light microscopy technique reveals complex molecular machinery alongside neural structures, helping researchers make sense of the complicated network of the brain.

Light microscopes have been evolving for centuries. Scientists use light microscopy to illuminate the most intricate biological structures. However, unraveling the complex details and architecture ...

“The hydrogel expansion pulls features of the brain tissue so far apart that we can resolve them with a standard light microscope.

A new package of papers examines the largest map yet of mammalian brain tissue. The map shows one cubic millimeter worth of neurons in the visual cortex of a mouse. Many brain functions ...

Scientists have mapped an unprecedentedly large portion of the brain of a mouse. The cubic millimeter worth of brain tissue represents the largest piece of a brain we’ve ever understood to this ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.
