Researchers at Cornell have unveiled an advanced imaging technology capable of unprecedented deep and wide-field visualization of brain activity ... in the deepest cortical layers of mouse brains.

Kerr and colleagues visualized calcium transients in populations of neurons in layer 2/3 of the visual cortex—a two-photon-microscope–accessible region beneath the surface of the brain—as ...

Where multiple markers are present, colours are merged and typically appear as yellow or pink depending on the proportion of markers, credit Cortical Labs Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

The innovative microscope, named DEEPscope ... over 4,500 neurons in both shallow and deep cortical layers. Moreover, DEEPscope enabled whole-brain imaging of adult zebrafish, capturing structural ...

This meant observing a deep, previously inaccessible layer of the visual cortex that communicates ... recently used a three-photon microscope to image the brain of a live adult zebrafish.

One of the areas that ballooned over the past few million years is the cerebral cortex, the wrinkly outer layer of the brain. It processes sensory information, coordinates our motion, and is in charge ...
