Microscopic fluorescence lifetime image of a CA1 pyramidal neuron in the hippocampus of a mouse. The neuron was filled with the sodium-sensitive indicator ING-2 using a so-called patch pipette.

Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, ...
