We are the Brain Energy Lab at the University of Sussex, led by Dr Catherine Hall. We use several imaging techniques to probe neurovascular function.

Brilliant day hearing about all the ECR research happening in the @ARUKSouthCoast network. Here’s some pictures of @kirashaw @AnderleSilvia and @OGSteele presenting. Thanks to everyone involved for organising and presenting 🧠👩‍🔬 @neuro_chlo @synapseMVClab

We next tested what populations of cells the three methods classified as ‘place cells’ in real two-photon data. Interestingly, the populations were completely independent, and their overlap was at (or even below) chance level. (4/7)

Some pictures from our zoom Christmas party this year! It was a bit different to usual, but we still managed secret santa and a (virtual) escape room! #Christmas2020 #zoom

Today we are having a 'lab away day' using Gather Town. We had a lot of fun exploring the environment and making our characters! Now time for some science 😀

Another angle of CA1 vasculature

And here is a 3D projection of the vascular network in CA1: which is also organised, but with a less dense capillary network and a perfusion source which comes from below.

How pretty is this 3D projection of the vasculature of mouse visual cortex captured using two-photon microscopy? We love how you can see the pial vessels along the surface, and their penetrating branches and then dense capillary network. #vessels #neuroscience #twophoton
