Frontiers of In Vivo Optical Imaging: Two-photon microscopy imaging of cerebral structure and function (part II)

Two-photon microscopy imaging of cerebral
structure and function (part II)

Sava Sakadzic, PhD

Abstract

Since its first practical demonstration in the 1990s, two-photon microscopy (TPM) has profoundly advanced our knowledge of several biological phenomena by enabling nondestructive characterization of complex cellular signaling and morphology with high spatial and temporal resolution. I will discuss novel TPM applications for in vivo brain imaging ranging from oxygen concentration and blood flow to cellular signaling and morphology.

Please join us in February and March, 2015, for “Frontiers of In Vivo Optical Imaging,” a weekly seminar-based course exploring state-of-the-art optical techniques for in vivo imaging. Each seminar will focus on a specific application of optical technology to investigate biomarkers from the subcellular scale to whole organs in preclinical and clinical settings.
