New OHSU study maps antibody "hot spots" behind anti‑NMDAR encephalitis. Could change diagnosis and treatment.

A fluorescence-microscopy method for tracing neuronal connections in the brain could make connectomics studies more widely accessible for neuroscientists. Read the paper: Light-microscopy-based ...

Using machine learning to guide microscopes could reveal greater insights into the brain's connectome and deepen our ...

For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...
