This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the 21st Century Cures Act - Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (CFDA 93.372), will support the development of a Light Pipe Microscope (LPM) system. The $681,287 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will enable researchers at Purdue University and the University of California, San Diego to create an LPM system capable of ultra-large-scale, cellular-resolution two-photon calcium imaging of the mammalian brain. The LPM technology aims to provide significant improvements over conventional two-photon microscopy, including enhanced signal collection, a compact form factor for dense or sparse brain surface imaging, and lower-cost components to facilitate broad dissemination. The resulting LPM systems will transform the study and understanding of brain function and neural circuit dynamics across multiple brain regions.
