A Revolutionary New Machine to Understand how Brains Work
That’s just what a group of scientists led by Te Whai Ao – Dodd-Walls Director, Professor Frédérique Vanholsbeeck of the University of Auckland has achieved.
A report by Dr Vanholsbeeck and her team has just been published in the Gold Open Access journal Neurophotonics outlining the development. The scanner, or mesoscope, is a microscope enabling both a large field of view and at the same time, very high-resolution detail. The low-cost development, which was tested on live rats and mice, could make neuroimaging more accessible to scientists, and advance neuroscience and brain medicine.
