PROMOTED: Imaging the Dynamics of the Nervous System

Recent technological advances in multiphoton microscopy have dramatically propelled exploration of neural circuits and brain function within the neuroscience community. Developed through collaboration with leading labs, the latest Ultima 2Pplus multiphoton workstation is enabling many in-vivo imaging and optogenetics experiments that illuminate brain function with resolution and precision at the scale of small networks, single cells, dendrites, and individual spines.

This talk will delve into Bruker’s newest multiphoton capabilities including the NeuraLight 3D holographic optogenetic activation module, NeuraLeap rapid focusing module, and more. Attendees will gain insights into the transformative impact of these technologies on Ca2+ imaging and the broader understanding of brain function, while also learning about recent customer successes and future developments in the field.

About the presenter
Kevin Mann, Ph.D., received his doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley under the guidance of Kristin Scott, Ph.D., where he studied fundamental behaviors in Drosophila using genetics, multiphoton microscopy, and electrophysiology. Next, he moved on to postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Tom Clandinin, Ph.D. at Stanford University. Collaboratively he developed a method for whole-brain calcium imaging to detail the intrinsic functional neuronal network in Drosophila.
