Large-Scale Imaging and Brain Mapping Are Topics of Olympus Symposium at Society for Neuroscience Meeting

November 10, 2011 By AxoGen, Inc.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa., November 9, 2011 – Olympus is hosting its second
major symposium on Brain Imaging and Brain Mapping in conjunction with the 2011
annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) in Washington DC
on November 13. The Olympus Neuroimaging Symposium will be held at the Grand
Hyatt Washington DC, 1000 H Street, Independence Level Ballrooms B-E, at
6:30pm. It will be followed by a reception honoring the winners of this year’s
international Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition photo awards; that
reception will start at 7:30pm.

Advances in imaging technology are providing researchers
with images that, for the first time, are large and detailed enough to create
maps of animal or human organs that clearly show their complex circuitry and
the interconnectedness of cells in three dimensions. Olympus
is bringing together some of the world’s most respected authorities in brain
mapping, imaging and connectomics as speakers for the event. The symposium is
open to all media and SfN registered attendees; refreshments will be served.
Speakers include:

  • Dr. Hongwei Dong, University
    of California, Los Angeles
  • Dr. Atsushi Miyawaki, RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan
  • Dr. Hongkui Zeng, Allen Institute, Seattle, Washington

Dr. Miyawaki will be speaking about a breakthrough imaging
technique recently published in Nature Neuroscience (www.nature.com/neuro/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nn.2928.html)
and covered by news media worldwide. His team’s methodology, which involves a
reagent and a specialized microscope objective, renders opaque biological
tissue clear and facilitates imaging several times deeper into specimens than
has ever been possible before. Dr. Dong and Dr. Zeng will be discussing their
own work, the power of large-scale image technologies and how to meet the
challenge of extracting connectomics data.

Olympus has a long history of supporting researchers with
education and professional development, and this is the second year that Olympus has convened this groundbreaking neuroimaging
symposium. Olympus will also be exhibiting
equipment appropriate for neuroscience applications at Booth #2525 at the SfN
meeting, including the FluoView® FV1000 laser scanning confocal system, the
FluoView FV1000-MPE multiphoton imaging system with the SCALEVIEW objective,
and the VS120® digital slide scanning system.
