New photoacoustic probes are allowing scientists to explore deeper into the brain as they can label and visualise neurons. Here, the scientific illustration features their novel photoacoustic dye that ...

Neuroscientists have sought to better understand brain function but lacked the capability to observe neuronal activity deep within the brain. Scientists have applied rational molecular engineering to ...

To understand the brain better, we need new methods to observe its activity. That is at the heart of a molecular engineering project, spearheaded by two research groups at the European Molecular ...

While existing silicon probes work well in thin, shallow tissue, its brittleness limits deep brain maneuvering. By creating probes made out of stainless steel, researchers are able to navigate to the ...

To shed new light on the contribution of different brain regions and neural circuits to specific mental functions, neuroscientists and medical researchers rely on advanced imaging techniques and ...
