Optical Stimulation and Electrophysiological Analysis of Regenerating Peripheral Axons

Authors: Patricia J. Ward and Arthur W. English, date: 06/20/2019, view: 135, Q&A: 0

Although axons in the peripheral nervous system can regenerate, functional recovery after nerve injuries is poor. Activity-based therapies, such as exercise and electrical stimulation, enhance the regeneration of cut peripheral axons. Despite their ...

Optical Clearing and Index Matching of Tissue Samples for High-resolution Fluorescence Imaging Using SeeDB2

Authors: Meng-Tsen Ke and Takeshi Imai, date: 10/20/2018, view: 2630, Q&A: 1

Tissue clearing techniques are useful for large-scale three-dimensional fluorescence imaging of thick tissues. However, high-resolution imaging deep inside tissues has been challenging, as it is extremely sensitive to light scattering and spherical ...
