Researchers Find a “Digital” Mechanism Behind Neuronal Changes from Learning
Neurons react to learning and memory by activating synaptic connections. The mechanisms behind this fundamental process are complex and poorly understood. Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University…Read article -
Video Talk by Daniel Choquet: Our brain, this black box
What happens in your brain when you learn something? When you store a memory? In this informative and fascinating talk, Daniel Choquet shares some of the most recent findings regarding those brain…Read article -
Axon Injury and Regeneration in the Adult Drosophila
Neural regeneration is a fascinating process with profound impact on human health, such that defining biological and genetic pathways is of interest. Here we describe an in vivo preparation for…Read article -
Deeper Insights in Transparent Animals
CLARITY clearing derivatives for multiphoton microscopy. Transparent organisms help us to identify spatial arrangements and connections of cells and tissues, especially neuronal circuits can easily…Read article -
Video Interview with Werner Zuschratter
Werner Zuschratter's personal focus is on analyzing the neuronal network, meaning the contacts between nerve cells. Out of this reason he started doing super-resolution microscopy: “It gives us deeper…Read article -
Glucose-Stimulated Calcium Dynamics in Islets of Langerhans in Acute Mouse Pancreas Tissue Slices
In endocrine cells within islets of Langerhans calcium ions couple cell stimulation to hormone secretion. Since the advent of modern fluorimetry, numerous in vitro studies employing primarily isolated…Read article -
Functional Connectivity in Islets of Langerhans from Mouse Pancreas Tissue Slices
We propose a network representation of electrically coupled beta cells in islets of Langerhans. Beta cells are functionally connected on the basis of correlations between calcium dynamics of…Read article -
Cellular Organization of Cortical Barrel Columns is Whisker-specific
The cellular organization of the cortex is of fundamental importance for elucidating the structural principles that underlie its functions. It has been suggested that reconstructing the structure and…Read article -
TED Talk of Allan Jones: Mapping the Human Brain
How can we begin to understand the complexity of the human brain and the way it works? The same way we begin to understand a city: by making a map. In this talk, Allan Jones shows how his team is…Read article
