OPTOGENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF MUSCULAR RESPONSES IN THE TIBIALIS ANTERIOR (TA) MUSCLE Peripheral optogenetics is a technique that allows motor nerves to be stimulated with light [...]
ELUCIDATING DYNAMIC INTRACELLULAR SIGNALLING PATHWAYS OF HIPPOCAMPUS-DEPENDENT MEMORY WITH THE OASIS IMPLANT Understanding how neural circuits process memory information is essential for [...]
Attached is a video of an NIH-3T3 expressing a novel optogenetic system termed PixELLs. In the dark PixELLs undergo protein phase separation forming liquid-like clusters as can be seen in the [...]
We used the Mightex Polygon to optogenetically inhibit the activity of multiple cortical regions—at the same time—in awake mice. We designed a calibration system to align the illumination to [...]

SFN 2019 in Chicago is approaching fast! Of course, there are lots of great talks and posters related to imaging and optogenetics. You can find Mightex at booth 1755 at SFN 2019 with equipment [...]
Mightex is proud to introduce the next generation of Polygon for patterned illumination, the Polygon1000. The Polygon1000 provides the same features and reliability as Mightex’s market-leading [...]
The ability to change the strength of connections between neurons, known as synaptic plasticity, has been shown to be extremely important for learning and memory within the brain. One proposed [...]
Congratulations to our recent Travel Grant winner Matthew Tran (University of Toronto) from Dr. Blake Richard’s lab! Matthew presented his research using the Polygon400 this year at FENS [...]
The basal forebrain is the one of the main sites of acetylcholine (ACh) production, projecting to various regions throughout the brain. The cholinergic system has been shown to contribute to [...]
