Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how calcium signaling channels in microglia—the primary immune cells of the brain—regulate neuroinflammation and promote the development of behaviors ...

Researchers successfully reconstruct high-quality 10-second videos from mouse brain activity using single-cell recordings and a dynamic neural encoding model.

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

Not just bones: How calcium affects the nervous system and muscles, its connection to chronic stress, and why it’s important ...

Dear Dr. Roach: I had an MRA scan, and it was noted that I have calcifications in my cerebellum, suggesting dystrophic calcifications. Is this hereditary? How do you know you have it?

Time-lapse two-photon imaging of the calcium indicator, GCaMP6f, in an acute slice of a 11-day-old mouse olfactory bulb (depth, 150 μm). GCaMP6f was expressed in mitral cells. The medium was exchanged ...

Calcium may compete with other nutrients for absorption in the body, such as iron, zinc, and magnesium, which can reduce the absorption of each. Taking calcium with high levels of vitamin D may raise ...
