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
  • Neural Engineering

Background:

  • Understanding neural processing dynamics requires long-term monitoring of neuronal activity.
  • Existing technologies face limitations in scalability and chronic implantation for small animals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop advanced neural probes and analysis methods for high-density, long-term recordings.
  • To enable chronic implantation and recording during unrestrained behavior in small mammals.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of Neuropixels 2.0 probes with over 5000 recording sites.
  • Development of novel data processing algorithms for post hoc correction of brain movements.
  • Chronic implantation in mice and rats across multiple laboratories.

Main Results:

  • Reliable high-quality neural recordings over extended periods (months).
  • Stable recording from thousands of neurons during unrestrained behavior.
  • Successful application in small mammals like mice and rats.

Conclusions:

  • Neuropixels 2.0 probes and associated algorithms significantly advance the capability for long-term neural recordings.
  • These tools facilitate the study of neural dynamics across timescales in naturalistic behaviors.
  • Enables stable, large-scale neural recordings in small animal models.
