Video of neurotransmitter release

Filed under: brain - alexei @ 12:39 am

Professors Vladimir Parpura and Umar Mohideen of the University of California, Riverside used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to look at how neurons release neurotransmitters. AFM can magnify things up to a million times and provides pretty little three-dimensional models. For the first time, a video of the topography of a network of neurofilaments is available here.
