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...
A collaboration of multiple labs in the Neurology and Neurobiology departments at UCLA published a paper regarding their open-source electrophysiology-integrated mini scope in an eLife paper in April 2023. E-Scope is an open source mini scope that simultaneously...
Ali Ogzur and colleagues designed a flexible and easily accessible tool for head fixation in mice. Considering the financial strain, time obligation, and level of experience necessary for head fixation experiments, the group provided a solution that includes both...
Dr. Zurna Ahmed and her colleagues in Dr. Alexander Gail’s sensorimotor lab at the German Primate Center in Göttingen, Germany published an open-source step-by-step guide for custom-fitting cranial implants. Previous sources for implant design and placement have...
Mercedes Gonzales and colleagues from the Precison Bio Systems Lab at Georgia Tech developed a convolutional neural network that assesses pipette positioning before a patch clamp is begun to minimize patch clamping errors in electrophysiology experiments. This is...
