Experimental electron micrograph of purified synaptic vesicles (upper). Synaptic vesicles automatically identified in the image with a new computer program are highlighted with different colors and candidate positions for V-ATPase are indicated with green dots. Credit: The Hospital for Sick Children For the first time, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) used advanced imaging technology at the SickKids Nanoscale Biomedical Imaging Facility to reveal the atomic structure of an enzyme that neurons use to communicate. All brain activity—from memory and emotion to learning and motor control—is made possible Read More
