Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using ...

For the first time, scientists using cryo-electron microscopy have discovered the structure and shape of key receptors ...

Using a technique called 3D electron microscopy, the authors determined that α2δ-1 was also required for proper synapse structure. Risher et al. further observed that α2δ-1 is able to promote synapse ...

For the first time, scientists using cryo-electron microscopy have discovered the structure and shape of key receptors ...

A new study led by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University has revealed the detailed structure of glutamate ...

Using the new technique, the researchers used the multicolor electron microscope to visualize a pair of brain cells sharing a single synapse. The team also demonstrated how peptides (short chains ...

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 ...

Because electron detectors work this way, the end product of an electron microscope is data that's visually mapped in grayscale. It can be difficult to make out important features from a monocolor ...

Synapse morphology and molecular composition can be analyzed in detail with conjugate light-electron array tomography, which combines immunofluorescence imaging with electron microscopy in a ...

Synapse is using the Phenom benchtop scanning electron microscope (SEM) for this purpose. With the help of sophisticated software, the microscope expedites blood sample analysis from three days to ...
