How Elemental Imaging Can Transform Neuroscience Research
In neuroscience research, imaging techniques are used ubiquitously to produce critical insights. Recently, sophisticated mapping, made possible by powerful elemental imaging techniques such as laser ablation (LA) in combination with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), has enabled studies of the distribution of different elements across an area of tissue.

What Happens in the Brain During Amnesia?
Memory’s absence, amnesia, has profound implications for brain function and has been recognized as a neurological disorder for centuries. The neural underpinnings of amnesia remain a contentious and hotly debated topic. This article will examine these debates and the remaining challenges involved in understanding the neurobiological basis of amnesia.

What Does COVID-19 Do to the Nervous System?
The first widespread reports that SARS-CoV-2 might be affecting our nervous system were quite innocuous. But over the following months, reports of far more severe neurological side effects emerged. In this article, we take a look at the neurological symptoms of COVID-19.
