Star-Shaped Brain Cells Hold Our Memories

The top panel shows a view of the inside of a neuron where C16 fatty acid derived from palm oil is being synthesized into ceramide C16 (CerC16), which impairs mitochondrial function and results in more severe disease course. The bottom panel shows the same scenario in a mouse with genetic deletions of the ceramide enzymes CerS5 and CerS6. The neurons in these mice do not synthesize Cer C16 from palm oil, resulting in milder disease course.

In this image adapted from the figures, the left side shows the chip micrograph, while the right side displays the pixel layout and schematics, highlighting each circuit element. The new pixel circuit uses only two additional transistors (T5 and T6) compared to the conventional CMOS pixel. This minimalist design allows for independent programming of pixel exposures without sacrificing photodiode area to the circuits, ensuring high sensitivity under low light conditions.

This microscope image of the brain region called the hippocampus shows the protein targeted by cannabis-derived CBD, GPR55 (red), and brain cells (blue) that send their extensions out to form the layers seen in the image. The interconnected nature of the hippocampus makes it a major site of for the initiation and spread of seizures.
