This publication review highlights two recent preprint studies utilizing Campden vibrating microtomes to slice plants to uncover how they regulate symbiosis and wood formation at the microscopic level.
Kiss1 neurons in the mammalian brain release the neuropeptide kisspeptin, stimulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release and activating the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis.
In this one-hour webinar, two leading experts explored how the living brain slice is revealing new mechanisms of seizure generation, improving translational research, and shaping future therapeutic strategies.
From hidden cognitive states to measurable touch dynamics, this publication review highlights how cutting-edge touchscreen paradigms reveal precise motor signatures of decision-making in complex, ever-changing environments.
Two recently published studies shed light on the neurological mechanisms underlying Timothy syndrome and Alexander disease. Despite their distinct causes, both rare disorders share a common thread in how genetic mutations disrupt brain function at the synaptic and circuit level.
Adrenal function can be investigated using a plethora of methods, but acute slice preparations provide a unique approach, providing good access for experimental interventions while maintaining cellular interactions within the tissue.
