Miniature microscopy brought a solution for a long-standing need in neuroscience: recording the activity of specific neurons in freely behaving animals. This technique allows for the visualization of individual neurons with high spatiotemporal fidelity. However, the implementation of this method is hindered by challenging surgeries, difficult experiments, and complex data analysis. To overcome these challenges […]
