Understanding how the brain works and developing effective therapeutics are
important in advancing neuroscience and improving clinical patient care. This
book covers state-of-the-art research and development in optical technologies
and applications for brain mapping and therapeutics. It provides a comprehensive
overview of various methods developed using light, both microscopic and
macroscopic techniques. Recent developments in minimally-invasive endoscopic
imaging of deep brain structure and function, as well as light-based therapy are
also reviewed.
