Recent advancements in brain imaging technology are revolutionizing neuroscience research. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's SongLabUIUC are developing a noninvasive imaging tool to monitor whole-brain microvascular hemodynamics in vivo. A new study summarized by CosmosMagazine has introduced a transparent “window” implanted into the skull, allowing high-resolution brain imaging data collection using functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI). The Carney Institute has developed a set of open-access imaging tools for studying sensory information processing, enhancing brain-spinal cord neurodynamics research. Additionally, a new chronic cranial implant called the 'COMBO window' offers a large field of view for whole-brain optical imaging in head-fixed mice, as described in PLOSBiology. Researchers from MIT have created a new microscope system, mosTF, that tracks brain plasticity faster and with greater clarity than traditional methods. This system provides sharper and faster live imaging of neurons with dendritic spine resolution. Furthermore, a new microscopy method has been developed to show blood vessel growth in skull injuries. All raw data and implant files from these studies are freely available.

What if we could peer (literally) into someone's mind? @CosmosMagazine has a summary of a new study wherein researchers implanted a transparent “window” into the skull and then used #fUSI through it to collect high-resolution #brain #imaging data.

Many neurodegenerative diseases affect brain capillaries before spreading to larger vessels, but these are notoriously difficult to visualize. @SongLabUIUC + team are developing a noninvasive imaging tool to monitor whole-brain microvascular hemodynamics in vivo https://t.co/1O8vEGKhpM
