A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI https://doi.org/10.29026/oea.2022.210081 discusses all fiber transmission photometry for simultaneous optogenetic ...

Combining a plaque-binding fluorescent dye with flat and tapered optical fibers enables depth-resolved monitoring across brain regions during natural behavior, offering a minimally invasive way to ...

A new technique to detect brain metastases in mice could assist preclinical investigations of the brain and other organs in human patients. Developed by the NanoBRIGHT project consortium, the new ...

Alzheimer’s disease is marked by the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain, but most ways of studying these deposits in mouse models require sacrificing the animals. That limits researchers’ ability ...

Researchers have shown that astrocytes in the mouse brain exhibit an acid response with intensified epileptic seizures. The astrocytes' acid response could lead to the amplification of excitatory ...

Researchers have developed a reliable and reproducible way to fabricate tapered polymer optical fibers that can be used to deliver light to the brain. These fibers could be used in animal studies to ...
