一种显微成像技术能使科学家们更深入地观察活体动物的大脑内部,从而使大脑视觉电路的研究工作成为可能。据美国马萨诸塞州哈佛医学院的研究人员报道,采用两种成像技术相结合的摄影方法获取比时间更快的图像可密切地观察大脑内部的工作过程。该研究成果将改善人们对一些复杂疾病的认识和了解,如癫痫、阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病。负责该项研究的哈佛大学医学院神经生物学教授R.clay Reid博士报道说,此项技术是一种全新的用于大脑功能观察的研究方法;这一新技术被首次用以跟踪观察实验鼠产生视觉时的脑内神经元活动的反应过程。研究人员在近期出版的《自然》杂志 A micro-imaging technique enables scientists to look deeper into the brain of living animals and make research into the visual circuits of the brain possible. According to researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts, using a combination of two imaging techniques to obtain images faster than time can closely observe the working process inside the brain. The research results will improve people’s understanding and understanding of some complex diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Dr. R.clay Reid, a professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School in charge of the study, reports that the technology is a new research methodology for brain function observation; this new technology was first used to track observations in experimental mice The process of producing visual neuronal activity in the brain.
