Tracking #norepinephrine in vivo just got a major upgrade and it was a massive team effort led by @tpatriarchi. Have a look at 🟢nLightG2 and 🔴nLightR2 on @naturemethods. Kudos to all the great scientists involved! @ValentinLRohner Paul Lamothe-Molina & Zacharoula Kagiampaki! 🧵

Dual-color two-photon imaging in hippocampus: nLightR2 enables simultaneous tracking of NE release and astrocytic Ca²⁺ dynamics during virtual navigation, revealing tight but heterogeneous neuromodulator-glia coupling in vivo. @FellinLab
The #SPIEPhotonicsEurope call for papers is open! Join us in Strasbourg, France, 12-16 April 2026. Topics include metamaterials, nanophotonics, nonlinear optics, optical sensing, and more! spie.org/PE-26
Our work on aberration-corrected endoscopes is out on @eLife as a Version of Record! Thanks to the reviewers for the constructive feedbacks.

Interested in what's happening with astrocytes during spatial navigation? Meet me at #SfN2024 PSTR251.12! Let me show you how #MINI2P is helping us uncover how astrocytes in freely moving mice encode spatial information. See u for the latest insights into astrocytic networks!
Results in Brief on the @CORDIS_EU website! Spatiotemporal firing patterns during tactile processing in sensory cortex - Thanks @marpamondo
