  • Learn more about the use of cranial window and cannula techniques for deep brain imaging, enhanced by intravital tunable two-photon microscopy.

The article from News-Medical discusses the use of cranial window and cannula techniques for deep brain imaging, highlighting their significance in advancing neuroscience research. Cranial windows involve creating a transparent port in the skull to allow for repeated imaging of the brain, which is crucial for longitudinal studies on brain function and disease progression. This method provides high-resolution, real-time imaging capabilities, enabling researchers to observe cellular and molecular changes over time. On the other hand, cannula techniques involve inserting a small tube into the brain to deliver substances or to extract samples, which can be used in conjunction with imaging to study the effects of drugs or other interventions directly in the brain. The article emphasizes the benefits of these techniques, such as minimal invasiveness, the ability to study live brain activity, and their potential applications in understanding neurological disorders, developing new treatments, and monitoring therapeutic responses. However, it also notes challenges like potential tissue damage, immune responses, and the need for specialized equipment and expertise.
