In the transgenic multicolor labeling strategy called 'Brainbow', Cre-loxP recombination is used to create a stochastic choice of expression among fluorescent proteins, resulting in the indelible ...

During the State of the Union, President Obama said the nation is about to embark on an ambitious project: to examine the human brain and create a road map to the trillions of connections that make it ...

(Medical Xpress)—Among the many great talks at the recent annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience were three special lectures given sequentially during the evenings. The first described how we ...

Borrowing genes from bacteria, coral and jellyfish, scientists have set mice brains aglow in a bold panoply of colors, revealing the intricate highways and byways of neuronal connections. The ...

Brainbow is known for its creation of brain-training app Peak--a product that Hachette Livre should certainly be interested in. While Hachette Livre, a subsidiary of the Lagardère Group, which also ...

Whether all the infectious herpesvirus particles entering a cell are able to replicate and/or express their genomes is not known. Here, we developed a general method to determine the number of viral ...

Harvard neurobiologist Jeff Lichtman isn’t being humble when he suggests that he knows almost nothing about the brain. He and the team at his eponymous lab are using the most powerful microscope on ...

Splashes of fuchsia, streaks of crimson and a smattering of taupe. When these dazzling displays of color—each hue denoting a different neuron—first appeared in the neuroscientific community in 2007, ...

This article is reposted from the old WordPress incarnation of Not Exactly Rocket Science. The blog is on holiday until the start of October, when I’ll return with fresh material. At Harvard ...

Neuroscientists know that some connections in the brain are pruned through neural development. Function gives rise to structure, according to the textbooks. But scientists at the Virginia Tech ...

Scientists have used the latest cell-staining techniques to create a colourful "brainbow" of the tissues of the brain. The Harvard University team used a combination of multiple fluorescent proteins ...
