PALO ALTO, Calif.--()--Inscopix, the neuroscience company that transformed real-time brain mapping with its miniature microscope invention, unveiled a new research product, nVoke, at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in San Diego today. nVoke combines two powerful neuroscience techniques, calcium imaging and optogenetics, into a single groundbreaking “all-optical” platform for precise measurement and modulation of brain activity patterns with light. These patterns are thought to underlie our thoughts, emotions, actions, sensations, and behavior.

Speaking at the launch, UCSF Neuroscience Program Director, Anatol Kreitzer, Ph.D., said, “Simultaneously recording and stimulating defined populations of neurons in the brain during natural behavior has been an aspiration and a long-standing challenge in the field of neuroscience. As an early-tester of nVoke, it has been exciting to experience first-hand its transformative potential for elucidating how neural circuit activity and plasticity shapes behavior, both in health and disease.”

nVoke empowers brain researchers with unprecedented technological ...
