Optical means to correct defects in vision or relating to sight or vision; visual. It is relating to vision or using the properties to aid vision an optical instrument.
Current cancer management follows a multipronged approach that include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. There is a pressing need for a platform technology to provide precision chemother...
Our work focuses on developing an optical brain-machine interface capable of interacting with neural activity in real-time. In this talk, I will describe our progress toward building the com...
The need for high-throughput laboratory testing to identify SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals has reached nearly unprecedented levels. This demand has also led to supply chain issues that have...
Confocal microscopes (and related instruments such as Two-Photon) are often used for the most rigorous quantitative fluorescence microscopy measurements. Most confocal users are aware of the...
The mammary gland is a unique organ that develops predominantly after birth and undergoes dramatic remodelling in reproductive phases. Macrophages have been implicated in mammary gland funct...
The transport properties of biomolecules in cells can reveal a great deal about the functional interactions regulating cells at the molecular level. Various biophysical methods have been dev...
During organismal development, differential regulation of the cell cycle is critical to many cell biological processes, including cell migration, cell fate specification and differentiation....
Almost unidimensional in their primordial existence as single cells, multicellular organisms quickly develop into complex 3D architectures and machineries composed of multiple cells and tiss...
Recent developments in reporters for calcium, voltage, and neurotransmitters, together with interest in understanding neuronal circuit function, have driven the development of methods for fa...
Learning is often an emotional process. Emotional stimuli with different valences, such as threat and reward, can transform an otherwise neutral sensory input into one that can trigger disti...
The neural basis of simple rhythmic and reflexive behaviors such as swimming and gill withdrawal have been successfully studied in nudibranchs and other gastropod molluscs because the brains...
Although neuroscience has provided a great deal of information about how neurons work, the fundamental question of how neurons function together in a network to produce cognition has been di...
Striatal neuromodulation through G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulates complex voluntary motor actions, involving decision-making, learning, and action selection. The dorsal striatum...
