Optogenetics is increasingly used to map brain activation using techniques that rely on functional hyperaemia, such as opto-fMRI. Here we test whether light stimulation protocols similar to those ...

Chemokines 'trigger' the integrin LFA-1 to different conformational and affinity states. Elegant experiments provide new insights into the involvement of different LFA-1 affinity states in rapid ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba investigated whether monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, are involved in hippocampal activation even during light exercise. Dopamine secreted from ...

A new non-invasive method for measuring brain blood flow with light performs similarly to functional magnetic resonance imaging but at less cost. This is the claim of biomedical engineers and ...

Advancements in technology combined with the rediscovery of new ‘reagentless’ activation methods—such as using light in photochemistry and electrons in electrochemistry—have changed the way ...

Researchers from Waseda University investigated the effects of seven types of light-intensity, short-duration exercises and found that all exercises, except static stretching with monotonous movements ...
