New Study Finds Axons May Resemble 'Strings of Beads' Instead of Smooth Lines
A recent study challenges the traditional view of axons as smooth, cylindrical fibres, revealing they may actually resemble "strings of beads" or nanoscopic varicosities. Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University using a high-pressure freezing imaging method, the discovery showed rotund blobs connected by thin tubes within axons. These s...

Researchers Create Innovative 3D Maps to Understand Octopus Arm Systems
Researchers at San Francisco State University have developed advanced three-dimensional maps of octopus arms, revealing their complex nervous systems. Led by Robyn Crook, the team used innovative imaging techniques to understand how octopus arms can function almost independently from the brain. These discoveries highlight the unique neuronal organi...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...
