Prof. Nick Frost leads the Frost Lab at the University of Utah. His research investigates how neurons that project to different parts of the brain shape behaviour, using simultaneous calcium imaging across multiple brain regions. His work uses Mightex’s OASIS Fiberscope.

Multiple Brain Region Calcium Imaging Using OASIS Fiberscope

Neurons project to different parts of the brain, and neuroscientists are interested in understanding how these connections affect behaviour. The OASIS Fiberscope uses a bifurcated imaging fiber that connects to multiple GRIN lenses, allowing researchers to perform imaging and optogenetics in multiple brain regions simultaneously. In this video, a mouse is connected to the OASIS Fiberscope via a split imaging fiber to simultaneously image GCaMP signals in the mouse prefrontal cortex and ventral hippocampus (Courtesy of UCSF).

The OASIS Fiberscope provides the ability to image in multiple brain regions simultaneously.
