During working memory tasks, the outermost layer of the brain, known as the neocortex, sends sensory information to deeper regions of the brain, including a central region called the entorhinal cortex ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona (UA) have developed a prototype of a new microscope technology that could help surgeons work with a greater degree of accuracy. The new technology, call ...

To get a better look at brains, Harvard researchers are making microscopes work more like human eyes. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Until recently, the quest to ...

Effective stereo microscope selection depends on understanding application demands and the performance factors that affect 3D ...

Researchers developed a smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that can capture, reconstruct and display holograms in almost real time. They used the microscope to acquire cross-sectional ...

Brandon Reagan, a postdoctoral researcher at Michigan State University, explores the relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum and plant stress responses.

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and ...
