Neural Simulation Pipeline: Making Brain Simulations More Accessible and Affordable

Imagine you’re baking a complex cake with multiple layers, frostings, and decorations. But instead of having all the ingredients and tools readily available, you need to search through different stores, figure out the quantities needed, and keep track of everything yourself. It would be quite a daunting task! Similarly, in the field of computational neuroscience, […]

What Causes Autofluorescence in the Aging Brain?

Imagine the brain as a mystical garden, illuminated by the vibrant glow of autofluorescence (AF). However, the secret behind this radiant phenomenon has remained a mystery. In this study, scientists sought to uncover the causes of AF in the brain as it ages. By examining the natural patterns of AF in mice at different stages […]

Unlocking the Secrets of Aging and Cognitive Decline

Imagine your body is a complex machine, full of tiny switches that regulate its functions. These switches, called TRP channels, play a crucial role in maintaining the health of your brain’s blood vessels. As you grow older, these channels start to malfunction, leading to a condition known as vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). VCI is a […]
