Miniaturized fluorescence microscopes (miniscopes) enable imaging of calcium events from a large population of neurons in freely behaving animals. Traditionally, miniscopes have only been able to record from a single fluorescence wavelength. Here, we present a new open-source dual-channel Miniscope that simultaneously records two wavelengths in freely behaving animals. To enable simultaneous acquisition of two fluorescent wavelengths, we incorporated two CMOS sensors into a single Miniscope. To validate our dual-channel Miniscope, we imaged hippocampal CA1 region that co-expressed a dynamic calcium indicator (GCaMP) and a static nuclear signal (tdTomato) while mice ran on a linear track. Our results suggest that, even when neurons were registered across days using tdTomato signals, hippocampal spatial coding changes over time. In conclusion, our novel dual-channel Miniscope enables imaging of two fluorescence wavelengths with minimal crosstalk between the two channels, opening the doors to a multitude of new experimental possibilities. TeaserNovel open-source dual-channel Miniscope that simultaneously records two wavelengths with minimal crosstalk in freely behaving animals.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
