then sliced that piece of the mouse’s brain into more than 25,000 layers, each a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair, and took high resolution photos of the slices through microscopes.

Scientists created a camera thinner than human hair, flexible enough to bend with your movements, and capable of seeing ...

Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand ... and took images of each slice along the way. They then reconstructed the images into a composite. “That took us about 12 ...

The researchers then dissected the mouse brain and doused the cubic millimeter with hardening chemicals. Then they shaved off 28,000 slices from the block of tissue, capturing an image of each one.

observing the glow of active neurons as the mouse processed the rapidly changing visuals. Scientists at the Allen Institute took a small piece of brain tissue and used a special tool to slice it ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections between brain cells are rearranged during states of heightened vigilance or ...
