We show how correcting GRIN lens aberrations transforms MINI2P performance, revealing sparse HD coding in sensory thalamus!

Tracking #norepinephrine in vivo just got a major upgrade and it was a massive team effort led by @tpatriarchi. Have a look at 🟢nLightG2 and 🔴nLightR2 on @naturemethods. Kudos to all the great scientists involved! @ValentinLRohner Paul Lamothe-Molina & Zacharoula Kagiampaki! 🧵

[sebastiano curreli @ZebaCurreli]

@tpatriarchi @naturemethods @ValentinLRohner Kudos to everyone involved for pushing the boundaries of what we can see in the brain. 🚀

Dual-color two-photon imaging in hippocampus: nLightR2 enables simultaneous tracking of NE release and astrocytic Ca²⁺ dynamics during virtual navigation, revealing tight but heterogeneous neuromodulator-glia coupling in vivo. @FellinLab

Panzeri lab and @FellinLab combine information theory with statistical tools to create the Multivariate Information in Neuroscience Toolbox (MINT) – a powerful new way to analyze #ephys and calcium imaging data 👏 #neuroscience #OpenScience https://t.co/HT0wsmoVVR

@GarrettJBlair @eLife Thank you Garret! The corrective lenses are designed to compensate aberrations at 920nm, we never tested them for 1p imaging.

[Fellin Lab - Italian Institute of Technology @FellinLab]

If you are interested in deep brain 2p imaging, check out our new work on aberration-corrected long microendoscopes (length > 6 mm)! Published as a Reviewed Preprint in @eLife! Thanks to all the authors!

Interested in what's happening with astrocytes during spatial navigation? Meet me at #SfN2024 PSTR251.12! Let me show you how #MINI2P is helping us uncover how astrocytes in freely moving mice encode spatial information. See u for the latest insights into astrocytic networks!
