The Optical Brain Dynamics Lab built and installed two custom wide-field macroscopes for mesoscale neural imaging. Many thanks to Dominic (Dom) for his great help with the installation!

Lwandile “Wandi” Dlamini, an undergraduate student at Macalester College, joined the Optical Brain Dynamics Lab as part of the MAC@W Summer Scholars program. A partnership between Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Washington University Division of Biology and Biomedical…

Masatoshi Inoue, PhD, talked about “All-optical interrogation of neuronal cell-type communication during social behavior in “Dissecting multi-dimensional neural computation underlying cognitions, memories, and social interaction” at the Japan Neuroscience Society’s 47th annual meeting and symposium.

Renovations are complete and the Inoue Lab is ready! The two-photon microscope has been successfully installed, marking a new era in our research capabilities. Stay tuned for updates on the groundbreaking discoveries this powerful tool will help us achieve!

It was great to take a break from our research and enjoy some delicious food together. Looking forward to more gatherings like this!
