Mapping the brain at high resolution
Read more: Mapping the brain at high resolutionNew 3-D imaging technique can reveal, much more quickly than other methods, how neurons connect throughout the brain. Researchers have developed a new way to image the brain with unprecedented resolution and speed. Using this approach, they can locate individual neurons, trace connections between them, and visualize organelles inside neurons, over large volumes of brain…

Gut-brain connection signals worms to alter behavior while eating
Read more: Gut-brain connection signals worms to alter behavior while eatingStudy may lead to a better understanding of the digestive tract’s nervous system. When a hungry worm encounters a rich food source, it immediately slows down so it can devour the feast. Once the worm is full, or the food runs out, it will begin roaming again. A new study from MIT now reveals more…
