Experimental setup for observational fear testing and calcium imaging in observer mice. The observer mouse witnesses the demonstrator mouse receiving electric shocks, enabling the assessment of ...

Novel, ring-inserts' are prepared (1) and loaded with growth factors of interest using microcontact printing (2). Brain slices taken from postnatal day 8-10 mice are added (3) and nerve fibers grow ...

McGill University researchers have demonstrated that AMPA receptors (AMPARs), which mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain fundamental to learning and memory processes, exhibit varying ...

Mitochondrial calcium signaling is crucial for energy metabolism and calcium homeostasis, but monitoring it accurately is challenging due to pH fluctuations. Existing GECIs are often sensitive to pH ...

Brain functions stem from and rely on electrical signals created and propagated by neurons. As such, scientists measure electrical signals to study neuronal function at both single-cell and systemic ...

A project group including Seoul National University and Korea's KAIST research institute has applied an event camera to the ...
