Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how calcium signaling channels in microglia—the primary immune cells of the brain—regulate neuroinflammation and promote the development of behaviors ...

Not just bones: How calcium affects the nervous system and muscles, its connection to chronic stress, and why it’s important ...

Researchers successfully reconstruct high-quality 10-second videos from mouse brain activity using single-cell recordings and a dynamic neural encoding model.

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

Dear Dr. Roach: I had an MRA scan, and it was noted that I have calcifications in my cerebellum, suggesting dystrophic calcifications. Is this hereditary? How do you know you have it?

Time-lapse two-photon imaging of the calcium indicator, GCaMP6f, in an acute slice of a 11-day-old mouse olfactory bulb (depth, 150 μm). GCaMP6f was expressed in mitral cells. The medium was exchanged ...
