In this stained slice of cerebellar tissue, support cells called glia are in blue, and cells called Purkinje neurons are in green. Purkinje neurons are some of the largest neurons in the brain and ...

Genetic Mutations Linked to Toxin Exposure Found in Firefighters' Brain Tumors Mar. 10, 2025 — In a study comparing the glioma tumors of firefighters and non-fighters, researchers found a ...

The researchers then dissected the mouse brain and doused the cubic millimeter with hardening chemicals. Then they shaved off 28,000 slices from the block of tissue, capturing an image of each one.

Afterwards, Allen Institute researchers took that same cubic millimeter of the brain and sliced it into more than 25,000 layers, each 1/400th the width of a human hair, and used an array of electron ...

A brain hemisphere being sliced on a customised cutting board to produce uniform 0.5cm-thick slabs for examination and sampling. Special care is taken to slice the brain cleanly and evenly ...

Apr. 23, 2025 — New multidisciplinary research shows that the brain forms memories of cold experiences and uses them to control our metabolism. The study shows that cold memories form in the ...

Just as tobacco companies knew they were poisoning people, today’s social media titans knowingly poison our politics, peddling lies and stoking angry divides for profit ...

is monitored by an ultramicroelectrode introduced into a slice of living rat's brain. This process is believed to be central to brain behaviour by coupling neuronal activity with the blood supply to ...

“Together, these two projects [the mouse brain slice mapping and the epilepsy patient mapping] define the current technological frontier of large-scale mammalian connectomics,” the note states. Da ...
