About this Research Topic
This Research Topic focused on adaptive optics for intravital brain imaging will provide an overview of this field. Recent technological and methodological advances in adaptive optics will be covered alongside current neuroscience research aided by adaptive optics. The goal is to showcase, in particular to the neuroscience community, the present and future potential of adaptive optics for intravital brain imaging in a collection of articles. We hope this effort will contribute to further facilitate the widespread adoption of these methods. We therefore seek Original Research, Review, and Perspective that cover the following topics:
• Adaptive optics for multiphoton/confocal and widefield microscopy of the brain
• Adaptive optics for super-resolution brain imaging
• Adaptive optics for volumetric brain imaging
• Adaptive optics and endo-microscopy
• Adaptive optics and polarization control
• Adaptive optics and experimental animal models (e.g.: mouse, fish, and fly)
• Adaptive optics in optical neuromodulation / stimulation / manipulations
• Advances in neuroscience enabled by adaptive optics
• Numerical methods and model-based approaches in adaptive optics
• Combining adaptive optics and scattering correction
• Other themes related to adaptive optics and in vivo imaging of the central nervous system
Keywords: adaptive optics, wavefront shaping, optical microscopy, in vivo imaging, brain imaging
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
