Researchers Create Microscope Allowing Deep Brain Exploration
From: Wireless Design & Development - 05/12/2015

A team of neuroscientists and bioengineers at the University of Colorado
Anschutz Medical Campus have created a miniature, fiber-optic microscope
designed to peer deeply inside a living brain.

Possible uses include:

    Screening pharmaceuticals targeted to specific brain disorders.

    Allowing neurosurgeons to image small brain areas like those targeted in
    the treatment of Parkinson's disease. 

    Conducting optical, in situ, biopsies for diagnosis of brain tumors. 

    Examining the connection between neural damage and controlling prosthetic
    limbs.
