A new two-photon microscope captures videos of the brain faster than ever, revealing voltage changes and neurotransmitter release.

Cell biologist Ron Vale, a pioneer in the field of molecular motors, has been elected the next executive director of Janelia Research Campus.

Neuroscience research just got a little bit easier, thanks to the release of tens of thousands of images of fruit fly brain neurons generated by Janelia’s FlyLight Project Team. Over eight years, the

New ultra-fast sensors developed at Janelia can detect calcium ions nearly as fast as they are released from neurons, allowing scientists to tease out the individual, milliseconds-long signals

After more than a decade of developing fluorescent probes, Janelia researchers have now released the culmination of their years of work: A comprehensive collection of rhodamine-based dyes, the novel

Giving up when efforts are futile depends on glial cells called radial astrocytes, highlighting a novel computational role for the underappreciated brain cells. Secured in place in a

The Open Science Software Initiative will help Janelia scientists develop and maintain software for biological research.

Facemap uses a mouse’s facial movements to predict brain activity, bringing researchers one step closer to understanding brain-wide signals driven by spontaneous behaviors.

Primary cilia, an often overlooked, hair-like organelle on the cell surface, could play a key role in how cells communicate long-term changes.

Janelia scientists have taken detailed pictures of the entire brain of an adult female fruit fly using transmission electron microscopy.

Abdelfattah et al. describe a point mutation that increases the sensitivity of voltage indicators. A new voltage indicator carrying that mutation (Voltron2) is found to have improved sensitivity over...

It is a great honor for me to receive the prestigious Gairdner Award for Biomedical Research. The title of this essay might imply that it will contain advice on how to win such a major scientific...

The protein works by forming droplets that concentrate far-apart genes involved in the same processes. To coax cells into multiplying, one protein pulls some strings. A protein that helps coordinate

A transformative technology for detecting and recording neural activity in the brain is now available for researchers to purchase through imec, a leading nanoelectronics research center in Belgium.

Spruston will oversee the research campus’s project teams, scientific operations, and scientific programs in a newly created leadership position.

Group leader Misha Ahrens has been awarded the Eric Kandel Young Neuroscientists Prize for 2019 by the Hertie Foundation and the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies. Read more about the

To neuroscientist Jason Vevea, Luke Lavis is not just a chemist. He’s a modern-day magician. For the past decade, Lavis, a senior group leader and head of Janelia’s molecular tools and imaging
