Inscopix

 

Inscopix believes that uncovering causal neural circuit dynamics is the key to truly understanding the brain.

Inscopix recognize that current challenges in studying brain function and dysfunction are handicapped by the inability to monitor large groups of neurons at single-cell resolution. Inscopix understands the need to acquire large-scale neural circuit activity data in naturally behaving subjects. With their flagship miniaturized microscope system, nVista HD,  Inscopix is enabling you to gather unprecedented data sets in any brain area in awake behaving subjects, to make breakthrough scientific discoveries.

Background

The BRAIN Initiative Fact Sheet 9/30/14

Inscopix is doubling the number of grants that it will award to advance the mechanistic understanding of the brain:

Inscopix is a provider of end-to-end solutions for imaging and interpreting large-scale neural activity during natural behavior. This past summer, in response to the BRAIN Initiative, Inscopix launched a $1 million scientific grant program, Deciphering Circuit Basis of Disease (DECODE), to catalyze the mechanistic understanding of the brain in health and disease. ...

Thousand Neurons Subscription

 

A new technology-as-a-service initiative called “Thousand Neurons” allows neuroscientists to economically acquire the nVista microscopy system, a cutting edge technology for large-scale brain activity imaging in freely behaving animals, through a $1,000 per month subscription plan.

“There is an urgent need to level the playing field by democratizing access to new neurotechnologies to a wider spectrum of researchers. The magnitude of the mapping goals set forth by the BRAIN Initiative demands a dramatic shift within the neuroscience community,” says Kunal Ghosh, Ph.D., CEO of Inscopix.

 

Press Release

CHICAGO, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — State-of-the art neurotechnologies for brain research, especially instrumentation, are often expensive, and are limited to a few elite and established laboratories.

The “Thousand Neurons” program is available first to participants in the Neuroscience Early Access Program (NEAP), which has enrolled more than 100 labs worldwide, ranging from Nobel Laureates to early career investigators. In 2015 alone, NEAP investigators published six research articles in prestigious journals such as Nature, Cell, and Neuron.

NEAP investigators have also contributed to development of new technologies, including Inscopix’s latest product, the ProViewTMImplant Kit, which is a surgical device to boost experimental efficiency.

“Thousand Neurons” is the latest effort by Inscopix to democratize access to its technologies. Last year, Inscopix ...
