A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.

With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments. As a mouse explores its ...

An Indian-origin Harvard professor, Aravinthan Samuel, is revolutionizing brain mapping with SmartEM, an AI-powered system.

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...

As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes ...
