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 ...

Intravital brain imaging is a valuable tool for studying neurons, glial cells, and their surroundings in living animals. It allows the investigation of neurological illnesses, therapeutic efficacy, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers used a two-photon phosphorescent probe to monitor capillary flux and oxygen in sets of capillaries, obtaining a robust oxygen and flux estimate within each capillary, sufficient to observe ...

A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons ...

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 ...
