When a neuron receives a stimulus, changes in membrane voltage (the electrical charge across the neuron cell membrane ... By capturing images under the microscope at a high speed of 250 frames ...

Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, opens channels in brain cells.

A highly specialized microscope, called cryoEM, is helping scientists see how glutamate, a major neuron-to-neuron signaling ...

Hints at the idea that the cell is the basic component ... However, definitive proof of the neuron theory was obtained only after the introduction of the electron microscope, which allowed ...

“What you can now do”, Roska says, “is look simultaneously at all 150-200 presynaptic neurons that give input to your postsynaptic neuron and ... laser path of a 2P microscope.
