A microscope atop an animal's head, scientists have found, provides a better view of how the brain processes visual and other stimuli on the move.
The device contains a laser, which can scan the activity of neurons through a tiny hole in the skull, made under anaesthetic prior to the experiment, reports New Scientists.
Novel Robotic Microscope can Speed Up New Potential Drugs' Identification
A team of researchers has created a next generation robotic microscope which can be used for high-throughput cellular image analysis to discover new potential drugs.
A team of researchers has created a next generation robotic microscope which can be used for high-throughput cellular image analysis to discover new potential drugs.
Previous methods had required restraining of animals and inserting of electrodes, but the new technique is much less invasive.
It reveals brain activity in animals that are moving and interacting with their environment in a more natural way.
