With miniaturized tube lenses and a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) mirror, we constructed a miniaturized multiphoton microscope system. Through a two-dimensional asynchronous scanning of the MEMS mirror, 24Hz frame rate can be realized. With a high numerical aperture objective, sub-micron resolution can also be achieved at the same time.

Multiphoton microscopy combined with optogenetic photostimulation is a powerful technique in neuroscience enabling precise control of cellular activity to determine the neural basis of behavior in a live animal. Two-photon patterned photostimulation has taken this further by allowing interrogation at the individual neuron level. However, it remains a challenge to implement imaging of neural activity with spatially patterned two-photon photostimulation in a freely moving animal.

- - Animals develop more complex behaviors by integrating sensory information, which may involve different growth patterns in various brain regions based on sensory input changes throughout their development.
- - Research using a transparent miniature fish model examined brain development from 5 to 90 days post-fertilization, revealing increased investment in sensory integration regions like the telencephalon and torus longitudinalis, particularly as they approach adulthood.
- - The study found that while some brain areas, like the optic tectum, experience a decrease in investment, others maintain consistency across development, highlighting the dynamic nature of brain structure in relation to cognitive complexity and sensory processing as the animal matures.

Comprehensive understanding of interconnected networks within the brain requires access to high resolution information within large field of views and over time. Currently, methods that enable mapping structural changes of the entire brain in vivo are extremely limited. Third harmonic generation (THG) can resolve myelinated structures, blood vessels, and cell bodies throughout the brain without the need for any exogenous labeling.

Optogenetics opened the door to a new era of neuroscience. New optical developments are under way to enable high-resolution neuronal activity imaging and selective photostimulation of neuronal ensembles in freely moving animals. These advancements could allow researchers to interrogate, with cellular precision, functionally relevant neuronal circuits in the framework of naturalistic brain activity.

We demonstrate quantum random number generation based on a photon-number detection scheme with the use of a silicon photomultiplier. We implement a time integral with detector response signals for resolving photon numbers, which are subsequently digitized into a stream of 4-bit sequences with a generation rate of 13.6 Mbit/s.
