MIT chemical engineers and neuroscientists have developed a new way to classify neurons by labeling and imaging the proteins found in each cell.
MIT researchers have developed a way to make extremely high-resolution images of tissue samples, at a fraction of the cost of other techniques that offer similar resolution.
Many cognitive processes, such as decision-making, take place within seconds or minutes.
Just like doctors seek to scan deeper into the body with sonograms, CT, and MRI, and astronomers seek to look farther out into the universe with space-based telescopes, adaptive optics, and differe
The following press release was issued today by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
When neurons fire an electrical impulse, they also experience a surge of calcium ions.
