About This Grant
Project Summary/Abstract This proposal requests the purchase of the Miniaturized Two-Photon Microscope (Mini-2P) Imaging System from Thorlabs, Inc., a complete state-of-the-art system designed to advance neuroscience research. This lightweight, head-mounted system enables high-resolution, dual-color imaging in freely moving animals, surpassing the limitations of traditional one-photon miniscopes and benchtop two-photon microscopes. It will support immediately five Major Users with NIH-funded projects to explore brain functions, such as reward processing, adult neurogenesis, and social behavior regulation, by providing unprecedented insights into intact neuronal activity. For instance, it will allow simultaneous imaging of distinct neuronal populations in the Nucleus Accumbens during reward tasks and longitudinal tracking of hippocampal neurons during navigation. The Mini-2P will also enhance the Animal Behavior Core, supporting over 20 laboratories at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. By facilitating studies of brain circuits in naturalistic settings, this instrument will drive discoveries in neurological disorders like addiction and autism, aligning with Einstein’s efforts in advancement of medical knowledge and practice. Institutional support, including funding and expert staffing, ensures its sustainability, fostering collaboration, training, and innovation in neuroscience research.
