Optogenetic approaches combine the power to allocate optogenetic tools (proteins) to
specific cell populations (defined genetically or functionally) and the use of light-based …

Technology for simultaneous control and readout of the membrane potential of multiple
neurons in behaving animals at high spatio-temporal resolution will have a high impact on …

Significance Two-photon (2p) microscopy has historically relied on titanium sapphire pulsed
lasers that are expensive and have a large footprint. Recently, several manufacturers have …

Over the years, fluorescence microscopy has evolved and has become a necessary element
of life science studies. Microscopy has elucidated biological processes in live cells and …

Recording neural activities over large populations is critical for a better understanding of the
functional mechanisms of animal brains. Traditional optical imaging technologies for in vivo …

Ever-growing edge applications often require short processing latency and high energy
efficiency to meet strict timing and power budget. In this work, we propose that the compact …

Light microscopy on dynamic samples, for example neural activity in the brain, often requires
imaging volumes that extend over several 100 µm in axial direction at a rate of at least …

The holy grail for every neurophysiologist is to conclude a causal relationship between an
elementary behaviour and the function of a specific brain area or circuit. Our effort to map …

This article presents a Lissajous scanning confocal endomicroscopy comprising an easily
manufacturable thin polyimide (PI) film and modified phase-offset-driven scanning. The …

Miniaturized fluorescent calcium imaging microscopes are widely used for monitoring the
activity of a large population of neurons in freely behaving animals in vivo. Conventional …
