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 new study by UT Health San Antonio and Stanford University scientists brings us closer to understanding how the body detects different sensations such as pain, itch and touch. When a person feels ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At the Neuroscience 2024 conference, Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) today announced the release of the OptoVolt™ module to further expand the advanced neuroscience ...

At the core of neuronal communication lie action potentials, brief, rapid electrical impulses that travel down the axon to transmit information for brain function. Abnormalities in neuron firing are ...

When triggered by an odor, rapid changes in membrane voltage and intracellular calcium ion levels occur in nematode olfactory neurons, causing membrane voltage sensors and calcium ion sensors to ...

Researchers developed a tiny, lightweight microscope that captures the electrical spikes of neurons at hundreds of frames per second in awake animals. WASHINGTON — Researchers have built a tiny, ...

Genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) based on microbial rhodopsins utilize the voltage-sensitive fluorescence of all-trans retinal (ATR), while in electrochromic FRET (eFRET) sensors, donor ...

A project at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) has developed a new way to image neural activity in live animals. Described in Biomedical Optics Express, the device is a miniaturized ...

New Multiphoton Microscopy Module Enables Millisecond Neural Event Imaging at Single Neuron Resolution. “I see voltage imaging becoming a key tool in the investigation of neural circuits and systems ...
