 Neurological Research Breakthroughs with Multiphoton Microscopy Advances
To understand human brain function, brain diseases and mental disorders, neuroscientists study mouse models to monitor cellular changes during brain development or track the neurodegenerative disease progress. Advances in multiphoton microscopy allow scientists to observe animal brains longer than ever before, while simultaneously tracking how they sense, respond, and behave.

| | | | |  A group of scientists revealed a novel X-ray technique that allows control of neural function deep in the brain without causing any damage. | | | | |  Scientists have found that the brain lacks the ability to maintain the cholesterol-rich myelin sheath that insulates neurons when a protein is absent. | | | | |  Scientists have long suspected that religiosity and spirituality could be mapped to specific brain circuits, but the location of those circuits remains unknown. Now, a new study using novel technology and the human connectome, a map of neural connections, has identified a brain circuit that seems to mediate that aspect of our personality. The work appears in Biological Psychiatry, published by Elsevier. | | | | |  Researchers have introduced a novel gene therapy program that could set the stage for new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. | |
