New photoacoustic probes are allowing scientists to explore deeper into the brain as they can label and visualise neurons. Here, the scientific illustration features their novel photoacoustic dye that ...

Neuroscientists have sought to better understand brain function but lacked the capability to observe neuronal activity deep within the brain. Scientists have applied rational molecular engineering to ...

To understand the brain better, new methods are required to observe its activity. That aim is at the heart of a molecular engineering project, spearheaded by two research groups at the European ...
