Neural Cells Studied After Space Gravity Exposure
LOS ANGELES, July 6, 2020 — A researcher from UCLA recently sent human brain cells into space, with the goal of understanding how they react to and develop in an environment of microgravity (weightlessness). Astronauts have reported intracranial hypertension upon returning to Earth following space missions. Human neural stem cells. Courtesy of ZEISS. To effectively study effects of space on brain cells, Dr. Araceli Espinosa-Jeffrey, a research neurobiologist at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human

Noninvasive Brain Control Possible with New Light-Sensitive Protein
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 30, 2014 — A new molecule, along with optogenetics, has put brain control in the hands of scientists. Researchers from MIT developed the protein, which is sensitive to red light and enables neurons to be manipulated noninvasively, as the controlling light...
Optogenetics Allows Control of Spinal Circuits
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 27, 2014 — Neuroscientists have long studied spinal circuits in the brain in efforts to better treat spinal cord injuries. Now, optogenetics could be a solution. Researchers at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research have discovered that this...
Neuronal Imaging System Shows Bigger 3-D Picture
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., and VIENNA, May 19, 2014 — A new technique could lead to a better understanding of how neuronal networks process sensory information and even how behavior is created in the brain. A team from MIT, the University of Vienna and the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology has...
Laser Microscope Offers Insight into Autism
EDINBURGH, Scotland, March 31, 2014 — A new laser microscope has the potential for a better understanding of the complex brain circuits of people with autism.
Ultrabright Nanocrystals Could Image Single Proteins
BERKELEY, Calif., March 19, 2014 — The future is bright in the world of biological imaging with the recent creation of ultrabright, ultrasmall light-emitting crystals that can image single proteins.
Brain Mapping Seeks New Paths
NEW YORK, March 10, 2014 — New imaging techniques could build new roadways in neural mapping and provide a better understanding of how the brain functions.
Optics Community Hails Obama’s Brain Mapping Initiative
WASHINGTON, April 4, 2013 — Neuroscientists and bioengineers — including the inventor of a neuronal control technique involving gene therapy and lasers — voiced support this week for the BRAIN Initiative, unveiled by President Barack Obama at a White House press conference on...
A 3-D Light Switch for the Brain
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 19, 2012 — A new tool that delivers precise points of light to living brain tissue in three dimensions could one day help treat Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy; it could even aid in the understanding of consciousness and how memories form.
Muscles Get a ‘Light’ Workout
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 12, 2012 — Genetically engineered muscle cells have been made to flex in response to light, a step toward using such light-sensitive tissue to build highly articulated robots.
Merging Microscopy Methods Sharpens Brain Imaging
SESTO FIORENTINO, Italy, Aug. 28, 2012 — Technology that combines the best features of two microscopy methods yields images 100 percent sharper than those acquired through conventional light-sheet-based microscopy (LSM).
Robot Reveals Inner Workings of Brain Cells
ATLANTA, May 10, 2012 — A robotic arm guided by a cell-detecting computer algorithm analyzes and records information from neurons present in the living mouse brain with better accuracy and speed than a human experimenter. The automated method could help scientists classify...
Single-Neuron Observations Reveal Alzheimer Stages
MUNICH, April 25, 2012 — Alzheimer-related changes in the visual cortex have been observed at the single-cell level using two-photon calcium imaging. These changes could reveal distinct stages in Alzheimer’s disease with a specific order in time.
Growth of Nerve Fiber Directed
ARLINGTON, Texas, & IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2012 — Laser-driven spinning microparticles can direct the growth of nerve fiber. This discovery that could enable the growth of neuronal networks on a chip and improve methods for treating spinal or brain injuries. The study, which appeared in the...
Physicist Decides to Build Own Microscope inSTED
DENVER, July 26, 2011 — Physicist Stephanie Meyer is bringing new capabilities to the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus by building an advanced, superresolution microscope that can see some of the innermost workings of neurons and other cells. ...
