Researchers have developed a new method to better model human stroke which uses artery-targeted photothrombosis. This shows a clear improvement on traditional methods by creating a larger penumbra for a longer amount of time while maintaining the practical results of the traditional model.
Nobel Prize winner Eric Betzig has demonstrated how an enhanced lattice light-sheet microscopy method can image the entire fruit fly brain much faster than existing techniques
A microscope technique able to image every neuron in a fruit fly brain, and some of the remarkable healing properties of light for treating neurological conditions, were two topics discussed during a neurophotonics plenary session at Photonics West. Greg Blackman reports
The US BRAIN initiative is likely to continue to receive funding under the new Trump administration, Edmund Talley from the NIH told a neurotechnologies plenary session at SPIE Photonics West
