Before scientists can unlock the secrets of the human brain, they must fully understand neurons—the cells of our brain, spinal cord and overall nervous system. Thousands of detailed neuron ...

3D Microscopy May Help Crack Secrets of Alzheimer's Scientists have edged closer to cracking Parkinson's and Alzheimer's secrets with the help of cutting edge 3D microscopy.

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed.

Initial testing of the 3D mapping technique took the form of tracking neuron activity in the brain of a C elegans worm, a specimen with a very simplistic neural network, chosen because researchers ...

One of a series of medical human anatomy apps, 3D Neuron Anatomy is a rather straightforward, although informative, app. Not to be confused with neuroanatomy—which would provide information ...

To learn how the whole brain works, it doesn’t do to just record from one neuron—you want to know what every single neuron is doing every millisecond. Now scientists have invented a technique ...

Researchers at LBNL are contributing to the BigNeuron project, a community effort to advance the state of the art of single neuron reconstruction.
