Abstract
Recent developments in miniaturized instrumentation resulted in the design and fabrication of miniaturized microscopes with high versatility and application in neurophotonics, using portable miniaturized microscopes and even reduced-size wireless microscopes incorporated into rodent skulls, allowing different types of signal tracking and highly valuable information recording from neuro-emitters, ion channel gates, neuron interactions and other types of brain cells and that based on microscopy imaging in vivo. Here, we discuss the versatility and state-of-the-art technology of these miniaturized instrumentations.
