Activity of nerve cell in freely moving animal analyzed by new robot microscope system Date: June 10, 2016 Source: Tohoku University Summary: Researchers have developed a novel robot microscope ...

The synaptic cleft, meaning the distance between two nerve cells or between a nerve cell and a muscle cell, is just 10 to 50 nanometers – too small for conventional microscopes.

Researchers from Osaka University and Tohoku University have developed a novel robot microscope system that automatically tracks a freely moving small animal and manipulates its brain activity ...

Researchers have built a nerve cell “connectivity map” of a larval fruit fly brain. It’s the most complex whole brain wiring diagram yet made.

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their ...

High-speed, 3D microscope captures stunning videos of fruit fly nerve cells in action Date: March 8, 2019 Source: The Zuckerman Institute at Columbia University Summary: Engineers and ...

The membrane of the nerve cell thus behaves in an 'economical' fashion: the vesicle proteins released onto the membrane of the nerve cell can be collectively reabsorbed to form another vesicle.
