Individually programmable pixels maximize signal strength when studying rapid brain activity.
The research team's experiment is expected to provide important clues to help analyze the causes of brain disorders and enable treatment
Neurons communicate electrically, so to understand how they produce brain functions such as memory, neuroscientists must track how their voltage changes—sometimes subtly—on the timescale of milliseconds. In a new paper in Nature Communications, MIT researchers describe a novel image sensor with the capability to substantially increase that ability.
A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain.
An international research team led by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has uncovered in a recent research project that
