# Breakout Brain Imaging The High-Speed Light Sheet Microscopy Technique Reveals Cell Behavior By Jordy E | Published 2013-03-19 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-sheet-microscopy References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5991273/first-ever-cellular%20level-video-of-a-whole-brain-working) & [blogs.nature](http://www.blogs.nature.com/methagora/2013/03/whole-brain-cellular-level-activity-mapping-in-a-second.html/) High-speed light sheet microscopy images of zebra fish larva have provided insight into the inner workings of the brain. Scientists at the [Howard Hughes Medical Institute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/AI-Food-Waste-Systems) Janelia Farm Research Campus developed the technology, unveiling their findings to viewers via a video. Displayed in the Janelia Farm Research video are [individual cells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellular-intelligence-platform). As the shots feature the entire brain of the zebra fish larva, a vertebrate animal, the movement and activity of these cells are also shown. The [light sheet tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sscopy) enabled the team to track approximately 80% of the neurons. This was accomplished as rapid snapshots were taken every 1.3 seconds, a time frame that mimics the very patterns that are observed in the brain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-speed Light Sheet Microscopy:** The development of high-speed light sheet microscopy enables rapid imaging and tracking of cell behavior in the brain. - **Insights Into Cell Behavior:** The use of light sheet microscopy provides valuable insights into the movement and activity of individual cells in the brain. - **Real-time Imaging Technology:** The rapid snapshots taken every 1.3 seconds with light sheet microscopy offer real-time imaging capabilities for studying brain functions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Biomedical Imaging:** The biomedical imaging industry can leverage high-speed light sheet microscopy for enhanced visualization of cell behavior and brain functions. - **Neuroscience Research:** Neuroscience researchers can utilize light sheet microscopy to gain a deeper understanding of cell behavior and brain activity. - **Medical Technology:** The medical technology industry can explore opportunities to develop advanced light sheet microscopy tools for diagnostic and research purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Fast Multi-Frame Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-1.md) - [Rapid Cell Analyzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cell-analyzer.md) - [Soft Brain-Computer Interface Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braincomputer-interface.md) - [Microscopy Image Analysis Softwares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/image-analysis-software.md) - [Cellular Transport Freeze Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellular-transport.md) - [Animal-Perspective Video Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imaging-system-1.md) - [Brain Activity-Focused Research Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurable1.md) - [Record-Breaking Optical Fibers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highspeed-optical-fiber.md) - [Brain Health Crowdfunding Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crowdfunding-campaign1.md)
