A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...

Within a modest engineering laboratory at Duke University, a new type of researcher is quietly at work next to an optical microscope. This new researcher has no need for coffee, does not become tired, ...

SANANTONIO -- Some San Antonio scientists have launched a powerful new tool to peer inside cells. It s a microscope that can see details far greater than before. The microscope is to other imaging ...

The brain’s ability to learn comes from “plasticity,” in which neurons constantly edit and remodel the tiny connections called synapses that they make with other neurons to form circuits. To study ...
