New Microscope Offers Faster, High-Resolution Brain Imaging

Researchers at UC Davis have developed a new microscope to capture high-speed images of brain cell activity with less harm to brain tissue. The new approach could be used in research with mice to provide a clearer view of how neurons communicate in real time, leading to new insights into brain function and neurological diseases.

AI Is

Researchers in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering are pushing the possibilities of artificial intelligence. They’re exploring the furthest limits of neural network design and are creating next-generation advancements in medicine that are transforming patient care.

Breaking Down the Gut-Brain Divide

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, are taking the phrase “follow your gut” to a whole new level: They’re creating microfluidic technology that can map out and probe the neural pathways that form the gut-brain axis for the first time.

Across the Spectrum

When it comes to innovating within applied electromagnetics, Assistant Professor William "Billy" Putnam has found that the best way to move forward is to look toward the past.

New Model May Change Artificial Intelligence for Good

Artificial intelligence models can now build and train new models with minimal human intervention thanks to a collaborative project spearheaded by Silicon Valley-based startup Aizip and its co-founder Yubei Chen, an assistant professor at the University of California, Davis.
