Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

In-vivo imaging of the neuronal activity in mouse primary visual cortex. Left, high-resolution neuronal map; middle, high-speed neuronal activity recording captured by the two-photon microscope with ...

The brain’s ability to learn comes from “plasticity,” in which neurons constantly edit and remodel the tiny connections called synapses that they make with other neurons to form circuits. To study ...

Researchers at University of California Davis (UC Davis) have designed a new laser-scanning approach to microscopy that is expected to open doors to brain-imaging in mouse models with improved speed ...

Intravital brain imaging is a powerful method for observing neurons, glial cells, and their surrounding environments in living animals. It facilitates the study of neurological diseases, drug efficacy ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...
