Three-Photon Imaging Gives Unprecedented View Into Brain’s Visual Cortex

At MIT, this has led to the first ever look into the neural activity of the entire visual cortex of an awake mouse. The researchers were even able to view the neural activity in the subplate below the visual cortex, an area whose functionality is not well understood. "By optimizing the optical design and other features for parameters for making measurements in the live brain, we were able to actually make novel discoveries that were not possible before," said Mriganka Sur, one of the MIT s...
