Zebrafish brain structure is finely presented

Technology Daily Tel Aviv, October 26 (Reporter Mao Li) According to local media reported recently, Israel's Jerusalem Institute of Technology Professor David Seinfeld and the United States Cornell University research team, using Cornell University developed advanced micro-imaging methods to obtain the adult zebrafish brain fine structural images. Their research, a new breakthrough in brain imaging, promises to provide valuable insights into brain research.
, scientists often use laboratory mice and monkeys as biological models for human brain research, but zebrafish are another viable option. It is important to map the brain structure of zebrafish in detail because of the similarities between the brains of all vertebrates in nature.
this research will bring a new perspective to the field of neurology research. According to Seinfeld, it is difficult to examine thick brain tissue, while it is more difficult to examine brain tissue through the scales of adult fish, and obtaining detailed structural images of brain tissue is a problem that everyone dreams of solving.
For how the new microimaging method works, Seinfeld explains that with the interaction of special ultra-short pulsed laser light waves with brain tissue molecules, they have succeeded in distinguishing the tissue layer of laser interaction from the tissue layer of other scattered lasers. This, he adds, means that the laser beam allows people to observe neurons under the scales and to image specific neurons deep in the brain at high resolution.
, a laser repeatedly scans specific areas of the brain to obtain three-dimensional images of its structure. Other brain scans and imaging methods commonly used before, such as MRIs, do not allow for high-resolution imaging to see internal neurons and subtle structures.
new way of imaging opens up new horizons for studying the brains of animals, and now people can better analyze how the brain works, according to Dr. Seinfeld. He says the new approach could give people an idea of how the brain responds to disease and recovers over time. For example, monitoring zebrafish brain changes over time, including changes in their brains as they mature, and how sick fish brains respond to treatment over time, can help people understand the function of the brain and the significant effects of disease on the brain.
