This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the federal Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, will fund the development of a miniaturized optical imaging device called a "synthetic mesoscope." The goal is to create a compact, high-resolution imaging system that can monitor neural activity across large areas of the brain in freely-behaving animals. The $526,366 award to the University of California, Davis, with a sub-award to the University of Texas at Austin, will support the technical development and testing of this novel microscopy approach over a 5-year period from June 2024 to April 2029. The key product will be the synthetic mesoscope device, which aims to overcome limitations of existing miniaturized microscopes by providing high-resolution, large field-of-view imaging of neural circuits during natural animal behaviors. This research is expected to advance the scientific understanding of how different brain regions coordinate to support complex cognitive functions.
