Working memory enables us to both temporarily hold information in our minds for further cognitive processing and direct future behaviour. Previous studies in rodents demonstrate that subsets of [...]
Mightex is proud to introduce the next generation of Polygon for patterned illumination, the Polygon1000. The Polygon1000 provides the same features and reliability as Mightex’s market-leading [...]
The ability to change the strength of connections between neurons, known as synaptic plasticity, has been shown to be extremely important for learning and memory within the brain. One proposed [...]
Congratulations to our recent Travel Grant winner Matthew Tran (University of Toronto) from Dr. Blake Richard’s lab! Matthew presented his research using the Polygon400 this year at FENS [...]
Asymmetric distribution of determinants is an important mechanism for patterning cells and embryos throughout development. Whether it is the polarized localization of PAR proteins, or RNA and [...]
Congratulations to our recent Video/Photo award winner Elliot Dine (Princeton University) from Dr. Jared Toettcher’s lab! You can find out more about Elliot’s work below and how he [...]
The basal forebrain is the one of the main sites of acetylcholine (ACh) production, projecting to various regions throughout the brain. The cholinergic system has been shown to contribute to [...]
Cellular architecture and behaviour is largely dependent on the organization and dynamics of the microtubule cytoskeleton. Coordination of microtubules inside cells are regulated by diverse [...]
This new application note by Matthew Tran from Blake Richards’s lab at the University of Toronto details a dual magnification setup optimized for the combination of both visually guided [...]
