Source: China – South China Morning PostChinese scientists have captured the “kiss-shrink-run” process of neuronal communication using the world’s first camera with nanometre resolution and a millisecond-scale imaging speed.
This cutting-edge cryogenic electron microscopy development enables the team to freeze moments of neurotransmission in time and clearly observe the complete dynamic process of the synaptic vesicle – a tiny, membrane-bound sac in a neuron that stores neurotransmitters.
Their findings have also helped to resolve a…Read More
