  MEG source imaging detects optogenetically-induced activity in cortical and subcortical networks

  Identifying causal interactions between brain regions is important to understand its computations. Here the authors present optoMEG, a platform for combining optogenetic techniques with high-resolution magnetic source imaging in nonhuman primates to map network activation.

  A tool for functional brain imaging with lifespan compliance

  Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings are sensitive to movement and therefore are especially challenging with young participants. Here the authors develop a wearable MEG system based on a modified bicycle helmet, which enables reliable recordings in toddlers, children, teenagers and adults.

  Deep brain activities can be detected with magnetoencephalography

  Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a non-invasive method of measuring neural activity but the hippocampus and amygdala are difficult to measure with MEG because of their deep localization. Here, the authors show with simultaneous MEG and invasive recordings that hippocampus and amygdala activity can be retrieved from the surface.
