The combination of the same slice imaged with the two highest-end modalities in near real-time on simultaneous scans has enabled us to image metabolic function with detectable accuracy at the level of the cervical spinal cord.
So-called 'genome scans' have enabled identification of putative markers under selection exhibiting larger or smaller estimates of divergence--often referred to as 'outliers'--than selectively neutral markers [ 33].
The development of fluorescent Ca 2+ indicator molecules, photolysis techniques and laser-scanning microscopy has enabled the investigation of the Ca 2+ dynamics in neurons at very fine temporal and spatial resolutions.
Understanding this physiologic behavior has enabled scanning technologies such as positron emission tomography, which uses a labeled form of deoxyglucose, which cannot be further metabolized but will be taken up by cancer cells at a faster rate than healthy cells, to localize cancer in a patient's body.
A1 New Brain Scanning Technique An improved scanning technique, functional magnetic resonance imaging has enabled scientists to figure out what people are looking at, even, in some cases, when they are not aware of what they have seen.
3 The recent advancement of OCT from the time domain to the spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) has greatly improved the imaging speed and resolution of the device, 4 and has enabled imaging scans of the macular RNFL (m-RNFL) and the macular ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer (GCL+IPL).
With use of appropriate electrochemical techniques (e.g., fast scan cyclic voltammetry, FSCV), microelectrochemistry has enabled the real-time, in-vivo and/or in-vitro measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution of fluctuations of the neurotransmitter concentration because of its transient release and uptake by living cells.
Military experience in eavesdropping on jumbled signals, for instance, has enabled scientists to produce a sophisticated scanning device to detect fetal heartbeats.
More recently, the availability of inexpensive linear array detectors has enabled simpler designs and consequently led to a renaissance in line-scanning confocal microscopy [ 15– 15].
Extensive distribution clout has enabled the San Rafael, Calif.
