While many methods already exist for recording brain activity, such as fMRI, calcium imaging, and cortical electrode implants, there are many limitations to each. Whether it is the inability to be freely-moving, the preference to cortical brain structures, or high...
Jared Armshaw and Grayson Butcher, from April Becker’s Neuroplasticity and Repertoire Recovery Lab at the University of North Texas, recently shared their open-source apparatus with us. Behavioral testing of rats usually involves removing individual animals from group...
The reach-to-grasp task is commonly used to study fine motor behavior in mice because of the translatability of the movement’s neurocircuitry to humans and non-human primates. Daniil Berezhnoi and colleagues have developed ReachOut, a project that includes all of the...
Changliang Guo, Garret Blair, and colleagues out of the Aharoni Lab at UCLA published their open source large-field-of-view Miniscope in Science Advances in April 2023. Miniscopes (miniature microscopes) are useful for measuring neural activity in freely-behaving...
Danny Lam and colleagues out of the Shoffstall Lab at Case Western Reserve University published their open source tool, a 3D-printed Hindlimb Stabilization Apparatus, in eLife in December 2023. Motor function evaluation is a necessary measurement in Neuroscience...
