New imaging system allows scientists to view deeper into the mouse brain

Researchers developed Three-photon Ultra-Deep Imaging (TrUDI), a new system that overcomes the natural depth limits of microscopy. This technology allows scientists to observe cellular activity up to 2 mm deep in mouse brain tissue.

This breakthrough allows researchers to study how neurons communicate within the deeper layers of the brain with high detail. Seeing these cellular processes in action helps advance the understanding of complex brain functions.

✦ Deeper views into the brain promise new paths to understanding how we learn and think.
