Breakthrough Microscope Enables Simultaneous Brain Activity and Blood Flow Imaging in Awake Mice
Scientists have created a revolutionary microscope that simultaneously captures calcium signaling and blood flow dynamics across the entire mouse cortex. The technology enables unprecedented observation of brain activity in awake, behaving animals with single-vessel resolution.
Revolutionary Brain Imaging Technology
Researchers have reportedly developed a groundbreaking multimodal microscope that enables simultaneous observation of neural activity and blood flow dynamics across the entire cortex of awake mice, according to a recent publication in Nature Communications. The technology, termed multiScope, represents a significant advancement in studying the relationship between brain activity and blood flow, known as neurovascular coupling.
