This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the general public and students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education.
About the Lecture This study explores advanced imaging techniques to map the entire human brain at cellular resolution. By integrating high-resolution microscopy and innovative data processing, it enables comprehensive visualization of neural structures, connectivity, and cellular organization. The findings offer transformative insights into brain function, disease mechanisms, and future neuroscientific research directions.
