Two Hundred Neurons Light Up Across the Same Deep Circuit
FlatMux combines patterned illumination and computational reconstruction to record electrical activity across multiple brain layers.
Summary
FlatMux combines patterned illumination and computational reconstruction to record electrical activity across multiple brain layers.
Rockefeller University researchers introduced FlatMux, an imaging platform that captures voltage activity from roughly 200 neurons at once across several layers of the mammalian brain. The system uses multiplexed light patterns and computational reconstruction to separate fast signals that conventional microscopes struggle to follow. It is a research instrument demonstrated in laboratory settings, not a clinical brain scan.
Why it matters
