Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out ...

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a ...

Investigators led by Francesca Elizabeth Duncan, Ph.D., the Thomas J. Watkins Memorial Professor of Reproductive Science, ...

We seek to develop techniques for high-resolution imaging of the tree shrew retina for visualizing and parameterizing retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon bundles in vivo. We applied visible-light optical ...

Neurons exhibit remarkable morphological complexity, even within mouse brain images. These images provide critical insight into understanding neurological disorders such as Down syndrome and autism in ...

Neurons often receive organelles called mitochondria from other cells. It emerges that neurons donate mitochondria that support cancer-cell spread.
