A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses all-fiber transmission photometry for simultaneous optogenetic stimulation and multi-color neuronal activity recording. Understanding the ...

Serotonin is often referred to as the "happiness molecule." It plays a critical role in affecting mood levels and is also a neurotransmitter that sends signals within the brain and the body.

UNC School of Medicine researchers, led by Ian Shih, Ph.D., associate professor of Neurology and Biomedical Research Imaging Center, developed an improved fiber-based optical method to measure ...

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 ...

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 ...
