16 months? That is just nuts. The field will have passed you by in that time.

Ultra-wide-field, deep, adaptive two-photon microscopy Observing the activity patterns of large neural populations throughout the brain is essential for understanding brain function. However, capturing neural interactions across widely distributed brain r...

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

Just think, Dan: you could have a ton of MDPI papers on your CV. What are you waiting for?

Very sorry to hear this!

A new paper from my colleagues here at Imperial - 100 Hz volumetric scattering-mitigated light field calcium imaging.

I love your work over the past few years, Iris. Please keep it up!

These are APP NL-G-F mice for the record, aged 6.5-9.9 months depending on mouse and imaging session.

And here is the movie version

This might have been a better summary image. Vessels in red, Methoxy-X04 plaques in magenta.

Hierarchical Bayesian modeling of multiregion brain cell count data Bayesian hierarchical models offer powerful statistical tools for neuroscientists to analyze whole-brain cell count data, as demonstrated here using two example datasets from different laboratories.

The final version of our paper "Hierarchical Bayesian modeling of multiregion brain cell count data", by Dimmock et al, is now available online at eLife:
