When a neuron fires, calcium flows into the cell in a wave that sweeps along the cell body. Images of this infragranular neuron were obtained three times per second by two-dimensional scanning with a ...

This is a movie showing a dendritic segment of a layer 2/3 pyramidal neuron expressing GCaMP6s (blue) and CyRFP1 (red) during spontaneous calcium dynamics in the motor cortex of a lightly anesthetized ...

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 large barrier in neuroscience is the ability for researchers to conduct studies on a live, functioning brain without surgery or implanting probes. Today researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

A project at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience (KISN) based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology has announced new results in large-scale 2-photon calcium imaging in freely ...
