Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Optical Microscopy
  • Biomedical Imaging

Background:

  • Local brain activity correlates with rapid changes in blood flow, red blood cell concentration, and oxygenation.
  • Hyperspectral imaging offers a method to analyze these physiological changes by capturing spectral information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the capability of hyperspectral interferometric microscopy in detecting brain activity.
  • To identify specific brain regions, such as the whisker-barrel cortex, associated with evoked neural activity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a unique combination of optics and algorithm design in hyperspectral interferometric microscopy.
  • Analyzing spectral bands to extract information about constituent components, including blood absorption and oxygenation.
  • Evoking brain activity through whisker stimulation in a rat model.

Main Results:

  • Successfully detected brain activity in the rat brain using hyperspectral interferometric microscopy.
  • Identified the active whisker-barrel cortex corresponding to the whisker stimulation.
  • Demonstrated the extraction of information about physiological changes across the entire spectral band.

Conclusions:

  • Hyperspectral interferometric microscopy is a viable tool for detecting and localizing brain activity.
  • The technique's algorithms can be optimized for discovering, quantifying, and visualizing biological events.
  • Potential applications include disease diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
