Zebrafish brain imaging results. Left: Optical fluorescence microscopy imaging provides only a blurred image limited to the surface. Right: The optoacoustic FONT approach, on the other hand, provides a high-resolution XNUMXD image and detailed information on the activity of the neurons (orange dots) in real time, all over the brain.

Common fruit bat. Weizmann Institute scientists report on a new type of neurons discovered in the bat brain. These neurons encode the direction and distance to the target to which the bat navigates and in this way they constitute a direct neural mechanism for navigating to targets.
