Researchers have developed the first detachable head-mounted photoacoustic microscope for imaging brain activity in freely moving mice. Because the device can be removed after imaging, it enables ...

After four years of development, an upgraded two-photon microscope enlarged the imaging field by 7.8 times and could capture three-dimensional images of the functional signals of cerebral cortex ...

The cerebral cortex is made up of 14 to 16 billion nerve cells. It's typically only a few millimeters thick but makes up roughly 50% of your total brain mass. It has a wrinkled exterior containing ...

Conversely, if pathological changes hinder cerebral vessels' capacity to provide sufficient oxygen and energy, the functional activity of the corresponding brain region will be significantly affected.

The researchers used their probe to monitor the activity of the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex in transgenic mice. Specifically, they monitored activity before, during and after oscillations ...

Their experiments revealed that communication between the hippocampus and cerebral cortex is two-sided: sometimes the cortex initiates communication, other times it's the hippocampus.

Electron microscope images of the inside of the brains of mice has given credence to the hypothesis that sleep is the trade-off for the ability to learn new things.

After evaluating the probe’s performance on a synthetic material that mimics soft tissue, the researchers used it to image vascular networks in the cerebral cortex of a mouse for 40 minutes.

A research team at China's Peking University has made a new breakthrough in multiphoton microscopy by developing a miniature three-photon microscope that has successfully captured deep-brain images of ...
