During this webinar, Dr. Roshni Christo and Dr. Tina Mahmoudi from Bruker discuss how the Quartet System is a multi-region miniscope uniquely equipped to unravel the brain’s complex and interconnected circuitry with simultaneous imaging of multiple brain regions in freely behaving animals. Viewers can also expect to learn about Quartet’s software capabilities and see first-hand how to analyze data from a variety of experimental setups.
The brain’s complex, interconnected circuitry necessitates simultaneous imaging in multiple brain regions of animals exhibiting naturalistic behavior. The Quartet, as previously presented, is the only patented technology for simultaneous, multi-region imaging allowing for the longitudinal assessment of both interregional and intraregional neuronal populations in freely behaving animals.
The Quartet system stands as a powerful hardware and software solution for neuroscientists. Engineered with strategic precision to keep optics away from the animal's head, the Quartet boasts a minimal footprint, enabling simultaneous imaging of up to four regions in a rodent brain. This design facilitates a wide range of experiments, including swimming paradigms. Furthermore, the system’s specially developed software facilitates live recording and real-time analysis across multiple regions, enabling longitudinal imaging and tracking 100s of individual neurons over time for a comprehensive understanding of brain function.
This webinar offers an overview of the software’s recording capabilities and its data extraction and analysis workflow. We also present analyzed data samples in cortical and deep brain regions in multiple experimental set-ups, including open-field and swimming tests.
