#Biohybrid implants for deep brain stimulation ⚡ An interesting arXiv preprint proposes soft and stretchable platforms that can connect a cortical electronic implant to deep brain structures through a guided axonal growth of neural spheroids. This work, carried out at ETH Zürich by Leo Sifringer, Dr. Tobias Ruff, and colleagues, takes the biohybrid approach for neural implants one step forward. https://lnkd.in/e2Fr_Mvs #biomimetic #neural #implants

Our NeuraLeap module combines an extended depth-of-field laser excitation module with an ultrafast DMD chip. This unique feature enables near-instantaneous switching between optical planes and has been used in labs to image dopaminergic neurons of the mouse ventral tegmental area and to image cortex at a high frame rate, far apart in Z. This module opens the doors for many exciting new applications in #neuroscience! Below: NeuraLeap was used for GCaMP imaging of 120 µm of mouse cortex, sampled in 12 individual frames, in a total of 400 ms. Acquisition displayed in real-time.

🌟 The human eye is an incredibly sophisticated organ! 🌟 It functions by focusing light, regulating its entry, and converting that light into signals that the brain interprets as vision. 🔹 The cornea and lens work together to focus light onto the retina, where: • Rods detect light intensity, allowing us to see in low-light conditions. • Cones handle color vision and sharp details. 🔹 The pupil adjusts the amount of light entering the eye, and the optic nerve transmits this visual information to the brain, enabling us to see a broad range of colors and conditions. Our vision is truly an amazing process! 👁️👓 #HumanEye #VisionScience #Optics #Neuroscience #Anatomy #Healthcare #Innovation #Eyecare #HealthTech #MedicalScience

Finally, our #paper "An open platform for #visual #stimulation of #insects" has passed the peer review process and has been published in the #PLOS #ONE journal.  We are setting new standards in the visual stimulation of insects. The #fly is mounted under a #microscope inside a #3D #printed #screen and experiences #immersive #virtual #reality while #neural signals and #behaviour can be recorded. Many thanks to Lukas Groschner and Alexander Borst the co-authors of the paper.

Anatomy of the Cerebrum The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, divided into two hemispheres (left and right) and connected by the corpus callosum, which allows communication between them. The outer layer of the cerebrum is the cerebral cortex, a gray matter layer responsible for higher-order brain functions. The cortex is highly folded into gyri (ridges) and sulci (grooves), read more click herehttps://lnkd.in/dU5ex2Js

One of the earliest applications of DTI was the three-dimensional visualization of white matter tracts using tractography algorithms. Most of the commonly used tractography methods adopt multiple regions-of-interest approaches to identify and separate individual tracts. the major association tracts of the human brain are the arcuate fasciculus, the cingulum, the uncinate, the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and the superior and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus. #DTI #medicalimage #Medicalimaging #diffusion #tractography #neuroimaging
