We, at Femtonics, are very proud of our partners, leading experts in neuronal network research, who presented at the recent 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐚 event at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies - FENS on June 26th. Thank you to all who attended and made this event a great success! 👏
From Botond Roska's presentation, we learned that he and his lab have developed a two-photon imaging method using 3D acousto-optical microscopy to study the development of cortical circuits in living mouse embryos, revealing that Rbp4-Cre neurons form distinct, active, multi-layered circuits that switch configurations during embryonic development.
Attila Losonczy has provided an overview of their recent efforts to investigate spatial and temporal rules of learning-related plasticity in the hippocampus of behaving mice using all-optical methods with 3D acousto-optical scanning for synaptic plasticity induction and read-out.
Bradley Rauscher's lecture covered recent advances in neurophotonic technologies to study spontaneous neuronal and neurovascular activity in the mouse cerebral cortex, focusing on tools like two-photon imaging and optically transparent electrode arrays to understand neurovascular coupling and infer neuronal activity from noninvasive imaging signals.
And finally, Balázs Rózsa presented 𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐬, a new immersive virtual reality platform enabling ~100-300-fold faster visual discriminative learning. He also revealed novel network mechanisms discovered during learning.
📢 He also introduced a groundbreaking development from BrainVisionCenter: the world's first 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 3𝐃 𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐄, which allows fast 3D acousto-optical scanning (>100 kHz/ROI) with high resolution in large scanning volumes, even in freely moving mice. 🔬
We are pleased to announce the success of our recent Symposia event at FENS 2024. With a great turnout, attendees engaged with groundbreaking presentations on all-optical techniques for measuring and stimulating neuronal networks during naturalistic behavior.
🔬 Leading experts in neuronal network research, including 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐤𝐚, 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐳𝐲, 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 and 𝐁𝐚𝐥á𝐳𝐬 𝐑ó𝐳𝐬𝐚, shared their insights. Balázs Rózsa also presented the 𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐬, a cutting-edge Mouse Virtual Reality System developed by BrainVisionCenter.
The presentations were given by representatives from the Institute of Experimental Medicine, BrainVisionCenter, Columbia University, and the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel.
A big thank you to all who attended and made this event a resounding success! 🌐✨
