A cloud-based miniscope for neurosurveillance of brain health and disease in freely behaving animals (opens in new tab)

Miniaturized microscopes or ‘miniscopes’ for neuroimaging in freely behaving animals mostly operate over short durations (24 h) imaging, remote operation and simultaneous characterization of multiple neurophysiological variables such as neuronal activity, blood flow, blood volume, oxygenation and cellular dynamics (a capability that we call ‘neurosurveillance’). Thus, we developed the ‘CloudScope’, a cloud-based multicontrast miniscope for autonomous neurosurveillance in freely behaving anima...
