Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy Provides Molecular Insights in Neurology Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy Provides Molecular Insights in Neurology Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is rapidly becoming a transformative tool in neurology, enabling the visualization of molecular and metabolic processes in living brain tissue and...
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Targets Changes in Brain Metabolism Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Targets Changes in Brain Metabolism Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was once confined to stationary, wired systems that limited studies to controlled laboratory environments. But today’s devices using this...
Multiphoton Microscopy Provides a Deeper View of the Aging Brain Multiphoton Microscopy Provides a Deeper View of the Aging Brain Because deep-brain structures are key to how the nervous system communicates and maintains healthy function, understanding them is crucial for studying neurovascular dynamics, age-related changes,...
Fiber Optics Clarifies the View of Neural Activity Fiber Optics Clarifies the View of Neural Activity Optical fiber was once relegated to simple light delivery and collection in medical instruments, often for exploratory procedures. Today, this fiber winds its way into all manner of instrumentation...

Clues from the feline brain Many scientists rely on mice as test subjects to examine the biological symptoms of dementia, particularly mice genetically altered to develop the condition in their brains. But cats can also develop dementia spontaneously during their lives and experience the same buildup of amyloid plaques in their brains as humans with Alzheimer’s disease. A team at the University of Edinburgh recently...

3 Questions with René Heine 3 Questions with René Heine BioPhotonics spoke with René Heine, cofounder and CEO of Cubert, which specializes in real-time spectral imaging. The company has worked with researchers on using a novel diagnostic approach that combines snapshot hyperspectral imaging with artificial intelligence (AI) to detect spectral signatures associated with Alzheimer’s disease pathology in the retina. Some current methods for...

Bringing Light to the Gut-Brain Axis Bringing Light to the Gut-Brain Axis Functional optical imaging has made remarkable strides in neuroscience. Techniques such as calcium imaging have illuminated the dynamics of live brain activity, while optogenetics enables the precise control of neural circuits in freely moving animals. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) allows noninvasive monitoring of neural activity in humans. Gaps remain, however, in our...

Brains can tell why sports fans yell Brains can tell why sports fans yell Courtesy of iStock.com. Gripping their seats during a sports match, passionate fans raucously cheer. This not only registers in the ears of those in the arena or living room but also creates a unique signature in the individual’s brain. Research from the University of Waterloo, using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), found that sports fans show different brain activity from...
