Latest paper from the Urban lab shows functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging reliably tracks neuronal activity with good spatial precision! 🎯
Congrats to the team! @OpenfUS 👏

Yesterday marked the launch of the fourth #LeuvenBrainInstitute center 🚀
We welcome the LBI Center for Cerebrovascular Research and all the members 🎉
The center is chaired by Prof dr Robin Lemmens and dr Anke Wouters, neurologists at @UZLeuven 🏥

Functional ultrasound imaging helps us understand the decrease in conscious perception during sleep. 😴
Check out the latest collaborative work of the @OpenfUS lab, spearheaded by the team of Yang Dan at @UCBerkeley, out now in @CellCellPress

Alan Urban will be in Kortrijk next week at the @KULeuvenKulak Ambassador Chair Symposium. He will talk about @OpenfUS, a comprehensive resource portal for global users of fUS technology, providing access to the cumulative expertise of field leaders. 🙌
Our last work, using functional ultrasound imaging to monitor brain activity in real-time in stroke, offers an extensive field of view for detecting circuit dynamics between cortical and subcortical regions @CBD_VIB @KU_Leuven @leuvenbrainins1 @imec_int elifesciences.org/articles/8…

More work from the @EmilieMaceLab tomorrow morning at #SfN23. Come to Paulina’s poster to see how she is using whole-brain #fus to study behavioral switching in mice!

I’ll be presenting a poster on my latest postdoc work from the labs of @NadineGogolla and @EmilieMaceLab tomorrow afternoon at #SfN23. Drop by if interested!
fMRI and fUS are two neuroimaging modalities that offer distinct advantages and limitations. The latest publication from Dr. Hikishima, and his team, sheds light on the disruption of resting-state functional connectivity caused by the high decibel levels in fMRI scanner @AIST_EN
Our recent publication on stroke 'neuromonitoring' using functional ultrasound imaging technology, developed at @__NERF, has received an excellent commentary in @_JCBFM
We appreciate the support in disseminating our findings! #StrokeNeuromonitoring #FunctionalUltrasound @CBD_VIB
Our recent study demonstrates the capability of functional ultrasound imaging (fUS) to elucidate the relationship between the extent of brain infarcts and the occurrence of spreading depolarizations in ischemic stroke. Congratulations to @Clembrunner and the entire team !
