To study plasticity in the brain, neuroscientists seek to track it at high resolution across whole cells, which is challenging in part because brain tissue is notorious for scattering light and making images fuzzy. A newly described technology described in a paper in Scientific Reports improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the live brain. The paper was co-authored by Elly Nedivi, the William R. (1964) and Linda R. Young Professor of Neuroscience in the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and the Department of Biology.
