Miniscope Zero, the first fully wireless Miniscope, is on @biorxivpreprint!
Wireless power + data enable neural recordings in enclosed mazes, 3D environments & from two animals at once! @BroschMarcel @MiniscopeTeam

So proud of this paper led by Pingping Zhao where we use miniaturized microscopy in nucleus Accumbens and optogenetics to discover how activity in D1 and D2 MSNs reciprocally modulate social interaction and altered in a model of autism.

So excited about our new preprint by Pingping Zhao and colleagues on cell-type specific and long-term stability of social representations in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex! Using miniaturized microscopy and we discover destabilized activity in an autism model.
Excited to share our preprint, the work I’ve done in Golshani lab @pgolshani. Using UCLA Miniscope, I explored NAc neural representation of social interaction and identified representational deficit in Cntnap2 KO mice. More exciting results are coming! Stay tuned.

Thank you again to everyone that made #OptoGRC2022 such an incredible success. It was an honor to run this meeting & we are so excited to see what #OptoGRC2024 has in store. ~ Denise & Ofer

Our BRAIN Initiative U01 grant to build open source miniaturized 2 photon miniscopes for large field of view and volumetric imaging officially funded! We have a great team across institutions working together. eurekalert.org/news-releases….

This has to be the worst possible thing one can do to our scientific enterprise. My lab’s had immigrants from Greece, Israel, China, S Korea here on visas. They each bring talent and determination.This is not America First.This is America intolerant, third-rate, and close-minded. – at Hidden Hills, CA

Golshani lab in full swing, successfully navigating the era of social-distancing research. @pgolshani

1/6 Open source hardware is still rare in neuroscience. @MiniscopeTeam & @OpenEphys have joined forces to change that. We’ll have a booth (1766) at #SfN19. There are so many new tools in development we can’t list them all, but here are a few highlights: #OExMiniscopeSfN

Still time to register for Miniscope workshop right before SFN in Chicago (October 17, 2019; Northwestern U). Will review new developments in the UCLA open source, new generation of head-mounted fluorescent microscopes. Free but need to register at: tinyurl.com/y6nubkbc

We are excited to announce that our #OpenSource wire-free #Miniscope is now up on miniscope.org/index.php/Wire…. Here you can find assembly and use tutorials along with all design files and source code.

Another calcium imaging analysis suite. This one is from Biafra Ahanonu, and it focuses on data from head-mounted mini-epifluorescence scopes (1p). It supports ICA, CNMF, and CNMF-E. Detailed README/workflow on github, with code: github.com/bahanonu/calciumI…

Imaging in freely behaving animals is the Method of the Year in Nature Methods! Grateful to have been involved in the effort that pushed this technology into over 450 labs. great colleagues @alcinojsilva @DanielBAharoni @MiniscopeTeam @denisejcai @tristanshuman and so many more.

So excited to have this work from our lab out in BioArxiv!
My work at the @pgolshani lab is finally online!
"Emergence of stable sensory and dynamic temporal representations in the hippocampus during working memory"
