The entorhinal cortex (EC) plays a pivotal role in memory function and spatial navigation, connecting the hippocampus with the neocortex. The EC integrates a wide range of cortical and subcortical ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Light and electron microscopy have distinct limitations. Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve smaller and smaller ...

Guillain Barré Syndrome overview: symptoms, causes, treatment, and potential complications, including recent outbreak in Pune ...

Transmission electron microscopy is a general type of electron microscopy that generates an image of the internal structure of a thin sample using a beam of electrons to achieve much higher ...

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other.

Existing computer systems have separate data processing and storage devices, making them inefficient for processing complex ...
