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
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
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
