Tiny silicon-oxygen-based polyhedron enters cellular nuclei to light them up selectively
Nuclei are complex, well-defined organelles carrying genetic information that is critical to the cell. Visualizing these organelles through fluorescence imaging techniques promises to reveal the mechanisms ...

The thalamus, middleman of the brain, becomes a sensory conductor
Two new studies show that the thalamus--the small central brain structure often characterized as a mere pit-stop for sensory information on its way to the cortex--is heavily involved in sensory processing, and is an important ...

Tinnitus caused by too little inhibition of brain auditory circuits, study says
Tinnitus, a relentless and often life-changing ringing in the ears known to disable soldiers exposed to blasts, unwary listeners of too-loud music and millions of others, is the result of under-inhibition of key neural pathways ...
