Fantastic work (as always) from Che-Hang Yu and colleagues in Spencer Smith's lab @Labrigger. Neat method to increase scan speed and/or FOV in 2p microscopy. Commercially available from @pacificoptica . I'd love to build this for a client at some point! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The Ventana SL and Ventana TL are now available. pacificoptica.com/ventana/ This is a new standard in scan engine optics. Nothing else comes close. These optics enable diffraction-limited imaging over a huge field-of-view. They're easy to integrate into your systems.

We grieve the passing of Dr. Yves Frégnac.
Yves has shaped the study of cortical processing and plasticity. He heralded interdisciplinarity and was one of the founding fathers of our institute.
Our thoughts go to his family and to his friends in the community and beyond. xitter.cf/NeuroPSI_saclay/status…

Imagine a world where blindness or low vision is no longer a barrier. 🌍👁️ With support from NLM & NIH, @UCSB researchers are developing a "Smart #BionicEye" that uses #AI to create practical artificial vision. Learn more about this tech in #NLMMusings: loom.ly/SHyQhLw.

The Diesel2p system is the most flexible large field-of-view 2p imaging system. 2p imaging and 2p optogenetics across 25 square mm (5 mm x 5mm). Simultaneously, anywhere in the FOV. Can be customized for YOU! We can ship quickly. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-2…

Get the objective up and out of your way. Short working distance water immersion objectives can be a pain. Get the first ultralong working distance objective optimized for multiphoton imaging.
The Cousa objective gives you 2p / 3p imaging through 20 mm of working distance in air.

To everyone who has been shocked and depressed by the staggering 40% cut to the BRAIN Initiative: we have a voice!
Outside Witness Testimony (aka written testimony) for the FY 2025 appropriations cycle is ongoing. Deadline for the House side is Friday May 3 and the Senate side is Friday May 24.
Let's all write in with our thoughts about what this cut means for scientific progress and for medical advances to help patients suffering the most devastating neurological and psychiatric illnesses.
Please see instruction links and more information here:
