Urban Lab and collaborators awarded at symposium ICP2025 in Punta del Este, Uruguay 🇺🇾! 🏅Poster - “Validation of fUSI for Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Piglets” (E. Baud) 🏅 Presentation - “fUSI for Real-Time Monitoring in TBI Patients” (Dr. E.Scheijen) #ICP2025 #fUSimaging

Latest paper from the Urban lab shows functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging reliably tracks neuronal activity with good spatial precision! 🎯 Congrats to the team! @OpenfUS 👏 direct.mit.edu/imag/article/d…

Check out this new VIB Blog article on our recent work ! Functional ultrasound (fUS) bridges the gap in brain imaging, combining high-resolution, deep-tissue access with real-time monitoring, overcoming the trade-offs of optical and MRI techniques 🧠🔬 blog.vib.be/peering-into-t…

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 🏥 #strokeresearch #strokecare

Thanks to @RobertOhlendorf for participating to our @__NERF @CBD_VIB seminar on 04/12/24 at 2PM which will explore groundbreaking advancements in sensor technology, seamlessly bridging the gap between large-scale and molecular imaging. Learn more here: nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are deeply grateful to the ‘Fonds de Soutien Marguerite-Marie Delacroix’ from Belgium for awarding a grant to support Tianzi Wang’s PhD research. This generous funding enables us to advance our work in understanding autism spectrum disorder (ASD). @CBD_VIB @__NERF #Autism

Our recent findings on fUS for neuromonitoring, with potential applications in humans, were highly discussed by the CSD2024 community. Thank you for the insightful input. It motivates us as we move forward on this journey! @ICSD_Conf @CBD_VIB @__NERF @VIBLifeSciences

The AI classification of ultrasound images of brain vasculature enables high-precision real-time positioning and navigation in the rodent brain. Check our latest open-access publication: cell.com/heliyon/fullte… @VIBLifeSciences @__NERF @CBD_VIB @FWOVlaanderen @KU_Leuven

Are you interested in learning more about the most recent research and developments in functional ultrasound imaging? If so, consider attending the Rudolf Magnus Seminar Series in the Netherlands March 25, 2024   4-5pm @__NERF @CBD_VIB @KU_Leuven @VIBLifeSciences

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 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

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/88919

Congratulations to @Clembrunner, Gabriel Montaldo and @OpenfUS! Their work on functional ultrasound imaging of #stroke in awake rats has been published in @eLife. 🙌 doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

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!

@mikhailshapiro @ZhiyangJin Great work! Thanks for always pushing the limits of fUS. Any details about the kinetics?

Can we image intracellular calcium with ultrasound? Yes, w/ultrasonic reporters of calcium - URoCs! Congrats to @ZhiyangJin and co-authors on creating the first genetically encoded acoustic biosensors of this universal cell signal based on #gasvesicles. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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!

We're ready #SfN2023! 👋 Come and meet us at the following talks and poster sessions 👇

Do not miss @__NERF neuroscience at #SfN2023 Functional ultrasound imaging 🧠🔬 Spinal learning & locomotion 🐁 Visual processing 👁️

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
