Electron microscope image of synapse in the cerebellum. This slice through the cerebellum cells shows the synapse between an inhibitory neuron (red) and a Purkinje cell (yellow). There, the tiny ...

Representative cryo-electron microscopy image: a coloured image of the 3D structure of gephyrin, which was calculated from the data. A team of scientists from the University of Cologne’s Institute of ...

Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new approach to broadly survey learning-related changes in synapse properties. In a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience and featured ...

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer ...

A team of scientists from the University of Cologne's Institute of Biochemistry has made a decisive discovery about the molecular basis of synapse formation in the central nervous system. They studied ...

Transmission electron microscopy reveals the architecture of cells at nanometer resolution, but chemical fixation severely warps their native structure. The true ultrastructure of cells can be ...

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

A team of scientists from the University of Cologne’s Institute of Biochemistry has discovered a significant finding about the molecular basis of synapse development in the central nervous system.

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
