New live-imaging platform reveals how brain circuits keep time
Researchers led by Dr Marco Ferrari and Dr Marco Brancaccio (UK DRI at Imperial) have developed a live imaging platform capable of processing hundreds of samples at a time, to investigate how circadia...

New paper out by @marcofe.bsky.social and team. We developed a new high-throughput live imaging platform to monitor circadian rhythms in up to 144 brain tissues. We are now using it to screen AD chronotherapeutics @ukdri.ac.uk @bioclocksuk.bsky.social advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
A High‐Throughput Live Imaging Platform to Investigate Circuit‐Dependent Regulation of Circadian Rhythms in Brain Tissue
Biological rhythms coordinate physiology, from genes to behavior. Study of circadian rhythms in brain tissue is constrained by limited throughput and spatial and temporal information quality. A new p...
