It takes just a few milliseconds: A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases its chemical messengers into the ...

Compared to traditional electron microscopy, it lowers both cost and technical barriers. "At the current resolution of the images—20 nanometers—synapses can already be identified. We managed to ...

The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from Yale scientists. Neurobiologists once believed that each neuron held a ...
