by Pasang
in Company News, Additional Subject Matter
Comments

I’m so glad we’re back to seeing each other in person again at SfN. I continue to marvel about how your insights, stories, and feedback directly make our products better at MBF. And, when you hear those stories in person…they provoke bigger ideas.   For example, one of our current customers said to me, “you folks are like pond larvae, you are small…but you’re always there, adapting,...

Comments

The question of whether an increased lifespan is associated with increased quality of life has been a topic of interest in the field of aging research. While there is evidence that improved somatic maintenance in model organisms can lead to increased longevity, recent studies have suggested that long-lived mutants may actually spend a higher percentage of their lives in an unhealthy state compared to non-mutants....

Comments

Using specimens that were collected over three decades from zoos, researchers at Humboldt University of Berlin examined facial motor control in African and Asian elephants. As described in their recent paper in Science Advances, they examined cell number, size, and position in the facial nucleus; conducted quantitative nerve tracing, and performed comparative analyses with other animals and between the two elephant types. The researchers found...

Comments

The Image Volume Fractionator probe, available in Stereo Investigator - Cleared Tissue Edition, is facilitating huge efficiency gains for quantifying the number of cells.   At Dr. Patrick R. Hof’s lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, researchers imaged the cerebral cortex using light-sheet fluorescence microscopy and quantified the number of neurons, including those that express proteins involved in Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia, using...

NYU scientists use ScanImage to monitor dopamine-induced brain activity in a model of Parkinson’s disease

by Pasang
in 2 Photon, ScanImage®, Scientific Applications & Use Cases, MBF Products & Service Solutions, Additional Subject Matter, Multi-Photon Microscopy Solutions, Parkinson’s Disease, Multi-Photon Imaging
Comments

Humans and animal species can move in controlled motion sequences because of a delicate balance in the signaling of certain neurons in the area of the brain called the striatum. In this brain region, some neurons tell muscles to move, while others tell muscles to hold steady. In the brains of patients with Parkinson’s disease, more of the neurons that signal movement are activated resulting...

Comments

Greetings, Later this week, I get on a trans-Atlantic flight for the first time in over two years. I’m eager to attend an in-person conference of neuroscientists — and especially to sit face to face, as we discuss about how best to move the next wave of neuroscience forward.   As I’ve been looking forward about how great it is to be back "in real life" with all...
