Novel, ring-inserts' are prepared (1) and loaded with growth factors of interest using microcontact printing (2). Brain slices taken from postnatal day 8-10 mice are added (3) and nerve fibers grow ...

Slices of mouse brain that were kept at -150°C for up to a week have shown near-normal electrical activity after being warmed up. The results could take us a step closer towards cooling and reviving ...

Initial studies of brain slices from different species using the Scattering Polarimeter have already shown results comparable in quality to the individual measurements of 3D-PLI and ComSLI, and can be ...

Floating in a warm, nutritious bath, the slices of mouse brain buzzed with electrical activity. Researchers gave them a few zaps, and parts of the hippocampus strengthened their wiring. This type of ...

In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fibre labyrinth of our brain. Before analysing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in ...
