Dendritic spines are small protrusions from a neuron's dendrite membrane, where contact with neighboring axons is formed to receive synaptic input. These spines have different sizes, shapes, and ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) have developed a new imaging technique capable of visualizing the dynamically changing structure of dendritic spines with ...

Dendritic spines are small protrusions from a neuron's dendrite membrane, where contact with neighboring axons is formed to receive synaptic input. These spines have different sizes, shapes, and ...

Our study shows, for the first time, an optically acquired 3D image of dendritic spines in human brain tissues. These had not been possible due to the lack of compatible labeling and tissue-clearing ...

A study published in Science Advances led by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, now provides evidence that the preservation ...

Bouts of white-matter destruction in the brain and spinal cord are a hallmark of multiple sclerosis, but the inflammatory disease also ravages gray matter. Using a mouse model of cortical MS, ...

Researchers have developed a new imaging technique capable of visualizing the dynamically changing structure of dendritic spines with unprecedented resolution. By combining two cutting-edge types of ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Over the course of life, memory fades with varying degrees, robbing older people of the ability to recollect personal experiences. This progressive, nearly inevitable process has ...
