New fluorescent drug lights up nerve tissue under special imaging equipment, giving surgeons a visual edge during procedure.

Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing controversy in neuroscience.

Each nerve cell, or neuron, has three parts: a cell body, which contains a nucleus, mitochondria and other organelles essential for cell function; a long tail called an axon, which transmits ...

These stunning images show the world from under a microscope From spines on neurons to pollen on an insect’s eye, the winners of Nikon’s Small World photo contest offer a kaleidoscopic glimpse ...

Scientists develop method to promote neuron growth Researchers from Stanford Medicine have found a new way to accelerate the growth of neurons, or nerve cells, according to a study published in ...

They captured the distinct response patterns of various cortical regions under multi-sensory stimulation and tracked large-scale neural responses with single-neuron precision across several ...

“Looking at the nerve cells under the microscope helps us determine which drugs are the most effective in preventing paralysis. Again, we’re seeing positive results so far.

We think that “Neuron-specific RNA-sequencing reveals different responses in peripheral neurons after nerve injury” highlights the differences between neurons that we found without misleading towards ...

Have you ever wondered what lighting a matchbox looks like under a microscope? The 2023 Nikon Small World microphotography winners are in.

In this article, we discuss the most fascinating cell type in the human body. We explain what a neuron looks like, what it does, and how it works.

Nerve fiber counting under a microscope and mRNA expression of neural markers were tested. Moreover, mesenchymal stem cells were induced into neural stem cells in vitro, and their therapeutic effect ...
