A smashed can? Nah. A squished car tyre? As a microscopist, I often get (unsolicited) creative interpretations of my picture’s subjects from people outside my field. Apophenia, they call it? I like these moments because they offer a rare glimpse into how someone encounters the unknown, with their mind relying on heuristics to make sense of it. It’s fascinating to observe the spontaneous pattern recognition and conceptual blending that happens right in front of me. So tell me, what do you see here? The thing, in fact, is a twisted wall of the basilar artery from a mouse brainstem. The basilar artery is a vital blood vessel that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brainstem, cerebellum, and other brain parts.  Because I cut my brains in thin slices, the image depicts a small cross-section of the artery and not the whole thing. As you may know, arteries are lined with muscles, namely, smooth muscle cells. Their structural protein, F-actin, you see here in 🟩, creating cool wavy patterns. The cells’ DNA is coloured in 🟧 This poor basilar artery was slightly detached from the brain when I was mounting it on the cover glass. The mounting process created some pressure on the tissue, which resulted in the "smearing" effect of the nuclei and the absence of brain tissue in the frame. “THIS IS ART!” I thought and took a picture of it.

Explore the fascinating world of brain anatomy with NewMind Technologies! Our updated brain map helps you understand how each part of the brain functions, from reasoning and planning in the frontal lobe to coordinating movement in the cerebellum. Dive into the science of your brain and see how neurofeedback can enhance cognitive function.

Post for all #microscopy cravers, I know you're there. This malevolent-looking image was taken while working with the brainstem area of a mouse #brain. The red color highlights the abundance of potassium voltage-gated ion channels (Kv's) in the cerebellum (Kv3.3 antibody from Alomone Labs), and the cell nuclei are shown in blue. The long, flowy strings you see across the pic are neuronal axons. Kv channels serve as the workhorses in the process of returning neurons to their resting state, enabling them to fire again. The image was captured using my favorite microscope, the #Zeiss LSM980 #confocal, at 60x magnification. Looks like the Aether from Marvel's movie, Thor! #neuroscience ZEISS Microscopy

What has the #Alpha-Wave of 7.83 Hz to do with #EZWater in the Brain? And why it’s important to understand the real #science behind #Neuroscience I was always fascinated about the physics of Water and the the ezWater state. We are in a time where we have to Re-Questioning Science otherwise we will remain where we are now. Watch this closely. https://lnkd.in/dwKc8iAR

Proud to present the next iteration of the #PICCL! This model version is more compact and is starting to enable much more consistent performance of everyday actions that a user will likely want to perform such as; - Using a knife to cut foods 🔪 - Eating a banana 🍌 - Brushing their hair 👱♀️ - Even something as simple as confidently holding a plate 🍽 A point of pride for me in this model is the design and #3Dprinting of a bevel gear mechanisn to allow for a more 'natural' thumb movement. We are still not without challenges though. In creating a more compact arm, the main hand has become more bulky, which seems to have created an issue in the ratio of finger to palm size - contributing to some grip issues. I have a few ideas on how to address this and hope to do so in the next iteration. What other actions do you think are important in the use of a prosthetic arm? #arduino #neuroprosthetics #selftaught #neuroscience #justdoit #robotics #neurophysiology #inventions

Our multidisciplinary central nervous system book, "Basic Medical Sciences Central Nervous System" which we have been working on for a long time, has been published. My own chapter is on Temporal lobe anatomy. I hope it will be a useful resource for the scientific world. #anatomy
