This month's Technology Feature investigates how researchers are using ultrasound-based techniques to reveal the inner workings of the brain. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our recent study demonstrates the capability of functional ultrasound imaging (fUS) to elucidate the relationship between the extent of brain infarcts and the occurrence of spreading depolarizations in ischemic stroke. Congratulations to Clément Brunner and the entire team !

Our recent publication on stroke 'neuromonitoring' using functional ultrasound imaging technology, developed at NERF, has received an excellent commentary in JCBFM We appreciate the support in disseminating our findings! #StrokeNeuromonitoring #FunctionalUltrasound VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research

fMRI and fUS are two neuroimaging modalities that offer distinct advantages and limitations. The latest publication from Dr. Hikishima, and his team, sheds light on the disruption of resting-state functional connectivity caused by the high decibel levels in fMRI scanner AIST

We're ready #SfN2023! 👋 Come and meet us at the following talks and poster sessions 👇

Do not miss NERF neuroscience at #SfN2023 Functional ultrasound imaging 🧠🔬 Spinal learning & locomotion 🐁 Visual processing 👁️

I’ll be presenting a poster on my latest postdoc work from the labs of Nadine Gogolla and Emilie Mace tomorrow afternoon at #SfN23. Drop by if interested!

More work from the Emilie Mace tomorrow morning at #SfN23. Come to Paulina’s poster to see how she is using whole-brain #fus to study behavioral switching in mice!

Congratulations to Clément Brunner, Gabriel Montaldo and Alan URBAN! Their work on functional ultrasound imaging of #stroke in awake rats has been published in eLife - the journal. 🙌 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Our last work, using functional ultrasound imaging to monitor brain activity in real-time in stroke, offers an extensive field of view for detecting circuit dynamics between cortical and subcortical regions VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research KU Leuven Leuven Brain Institute imec elifesciences.org/articles/88919

Alan Urban will be in Kortrijk next week at the KU Leuven Kulak Ambassador Chair Symposium. He will talk about Alan URBAN, a comprehensive resource portal for global users of fUS technology, providing access to the cumulative expertise of field leaders. 🙌

Functional ultrasound imaging helps us understand the decrease in conscious perception during sleep. 😴 Check out the latest collaborative work of the Alan URBAN lab, spearheaded by the team of Yang Dan at UC Berkeley, out now in Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
