PHOTOPATTERNING WITH MERCAPTOPROPYLSILATRANE AND THE POLYGON 1000 In our study, we use the Mightex Polygon1000 to photopattern molecules, such as fluorescent dyes, on silanized surfaces. Silanes [...]
A ROSTRO-CAUDAL MAP OF V1 INHIBITION IN AXIAL MOTOR CIRCUITS Though the spinal cord is responsible for most motor output, the organization of inhibitory networks within it is much less clear. [...]
IN VIVO CALCIUM IMAGING OF SOMATOSTATIN-EXPRESSING CELL ACTIVITY IN THE CINGULATE CORTEX DURING SOCIAL INTERACTION IN FREELY MOVING MICE USING MIGHTEX’S OASIS IMPLANT The cingulate cortex [...]
OPTOGENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF MUSCULAR RESPONSES IN THE TIBIALIS ANTERIOR (TA) MUSCLE Peripheral optogenetics is a technique that allows motor nerves to be stimulated with light [...]
ELUCIDATING DYNAMIC INTRACELLULAR SIGNALLING PATHWAYS OF HIPPOCAMPUS-DEPENDENT MEMORY WITH THE OASIS IMPLANT Understanding how neural circuits process memory information is essential for [...]
Attached is a video of an NIH-3T3 expressing a novel optogenetic system termed PixELLs. In the dark PixELLs undergo protein phase separation forming liquid-like clusters as can be seen in the [...]
We used the Mightex Polygon to optogenetically inhibit the activity of multiple cortical regions—at the same time—in awake mice. We designed a calibration system to align the illumination to [...]
SFN 2019 in Chicago is approaching fast! Of course, there are lots of great talks and posters related to imaging and optogenetics. You can find Mightex at booth 1755 at SFN 2019 with equipment [...]
Congratulations to our recent Travel Grant winner Matthew Tran (University of Toronto) from Dr. Blake Richard’s lab! Matthew presented his research using the Polygon400 this year at FENS [...]
