Cranial Windows Allow Simultaneous Imaging of the Brain’s Different Regions

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 13, 2021 — Researchers from Tsinghua University have developed a way to image multiple areas of the brain at the same time, both on the brain’s surface and deep inside the brain. Since brain processes often span multiple regions of the brain, researchers say the new approach could lead to a more complete understanding of how the brain works in health and disease. To allow simultaneous imaging of multiple areas and depths in the brain, the researchers implanted glass windows in the heads of living mice. They accomplished this by removing part of the skull and implanting two separate windows...Read full article

    glass
    A noncrystalline, inorganic mixture of various metallic oxides fused by heating with glassifiers such as silica, or boric or phosphoric oxides. Common window or bottle glass is a mixture of soda, lime and sand, melted and cast, rolled or blown to shape. Most glasses are transparent in the visible spectrum and up to about 2.5 µm in the infrared, but some are opaque such as natural obsidian; these are, nevertheless, useful as mirror blanks. Traces of some elements such as cobalt, copper and...
