研究開始時の研究の概要 |
The study focusses on the development of polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography system at longer wavelength for deep brain imaging to understand the structural and functional aspects of habenular region with main focus on its role in the psychiatric disorders including depression.
|
研究成果の概要 |
Habenula is a tiny anatomical structure that links the forebrain to the midbrain which regulates pathways associated with a range of behaviors. The proposed research aimed at developing an imaging tool for volumetric assessment of small brain structures like habenula with high resolution.
|
研究成果の学術的意義や社会的意義 |
The proposed research developed a cost-effective 3-dimensional (3D) imaging tool that allows for high-throughput and high resolution imaging of brain structures. Serial imaging allows for easy 3D reconstruction for macroscopic quantitative analysis based on the high resolution brain imaging data.
