Scope advance reveals first look through all cortical layers of awake brain. ScienceDaily . Retrieved May 10, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2019 / 01 / 190111090909.htm ...

Scientists have developed a head-mounted miniature microscope, the so-called fiberscope, that is capable of imaging all cortical layers of a freely moving rat ...

To image the deeper layers of the cortex on a cellular level, a new approach was needed. In collaboration with Philip Russell’s group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Kerr’s group ...

Behold, the Cortical Column. A three-dimensional rendering of the mammalian neocortex displays the six cortical layers—from the surface of the brain to the inside. Distinct cytoarchitectural features ...

How does the brain produce behavior? Studying the brain during behavior is most informative when the animal is free to interact with its environment in any way it chooses. This requires small ...

Throughout the brain's cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show ...

To achieve that, they needed to develop a new microscope that was capable of allowing rapid continuous volumetric imaging of all six cortical layers simultaneously in an awake mammal - in the process ...
