Today is the fifth and final day of the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting. We're having a fantastic time talking with our customers, meeting new users, and demonstrating the new software and technologies we've worked so hard on at the MBF Bioscience offices this year. If you haven't yet tried out the new versions of Stereo Investigator and Neurolucida, or looked at our poster abstracts,...

We were impressed by the attendance at yesterday's poster sessions and workshops. Thanks so much for coming by. If you have any questions, or would like more information on the topics we presented, visit us at booth 1233. Our team of scientists and developers are always on hand to get you the information you need. In fact, the time we spend face to face with...

Today is a busy day for MBF Bioscience, with two poster sessions and four more half-hour workshops hosted by our knowledgeable software developers and staff scientists. Join us this afternoon for demonstrations on two new technologies we developed this year at MBF Bioscience. At 2pm, Dan Peruzzi, Ph.D. presents the poster abstract "Unbiased cell volume estimations in preferentially cut sections with the virtual nucleator" (PPP13/516.18), and...

The Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting is one of the highlights of our year. We're thrilled to once again be among so many of our esteemed colleagues. It was great seeing so many of you yesterday. Today we're kicking off our four-day program of informative workshops presented by MBF Bioscience staff scientists. Be sure to stop by booth 1233 to learn about 3D neuron tracing,...

The San Diego Convention Center is bustling with activity this morning as the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting begins. After our daylong set up marathon yesterday, booth 1233 is ready for a productive week. (Watch the video to see our set-up team in action). Today, at 3pm we present the first of our three poster abstracts—"Automated detection and tracking of freely moving C. elegans" (MMM6/105.27). We...

The human brain is a complex wonderland of blood vessels, neurons, axons, and dendrites. Thanks to a century of technological advancements, there are myriad possibilities available to navigate this extraordinary organ. Portraits of the Mind: Visualizing the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century is a new book by Carl Schoonover a PhD candidate in neuroscience at Columbia University that details this fascinating technological evolution....

Researchers around the globe use stereology to efficiently and effectively gather quantitative data on the cellular level. The method is considered one of the most accurate ways to determine cell volume in 3D renderings of two-dimentional images. Two upcoming courses sponsored by MBF Bioscience offer hands-on instruction in the latest stereological methods. At the Sixth Course "Morphometry and Stereology in Neurosciences," taking place October 18-22 in...

Our offices are buzzing as we prepare for this year's Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego -- one of our biggest events of the year. Flights are booked and abstracts submitted! This year, in addition to unveiling version 10 of Neurolucida and Stereo Investigator, we are thrilled to be presenting neuroscientists some innovative technology. We'll be demonstrating automatic 3D cell counting using rigorous stereological sampling;...

Neuro2010 is in full swing! If you're in Kobe, Japan for the event, stop by the MBF Bioscience booth (number 42). Norikazu Okada will be demonstrating Neurolucida, AutoNeuron, and Stereo Investigator. The joint conference of the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society, 53rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Neurochemistry, and the 20th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Neural Network Society, Neuro2010 takes...
