In the fast-evolving field of neuroscience, groundbreaking research on the intricate workings of the vertebrate brain yields new information every day. A recent study published in the Journal of Neuroscience describes the establishment of an approach for better contextualization of proteins identified through proteomic analyses to identify candidate proteins for functional validation testing. The authors examined human synaptic processes from well-characterized human post-mortem samples and...

In their recent publication, Jeffrey Demas and co-authors introduced “Light Beads Microscopy”, an important technological breakthrough in 2 photon microscopy. The authors demonstrated how their innovative microscopy approach can be used to observe the activity of individual neurons in vivo in large volumes of mouse cortex, offering a long-sought approach to studying brain encoding.   Light Beads Microscopy is a new method of two-photon microscopy optimized for...

The question of whether an increased lifespan is associated with increased quality of life has been a topic of interest in the field of aging research. While there is evidence that improved somatic maintenance in model organisms can lead to increased longevity, recent studies have suggested that long-lived mutants may actually spend a higher percentage of their lives in an unhealthy state compared to non-mutants....
