Functional ultrasound brain imaging is the next frontier in pre-clinical neuroscience. Iconeus, a Paris-based technological company, is introducing a breakthrough modality for preclinical imaging of brain activity and vasculature, based on the measurement of blood volume with ultra-high sensitivity.
Now you can observe the brain activity of awake animals in real time
Iconeus One
Iconeus One technology drows on our patented ultrafast MPW™ (multi-plane-wave) ultrasound technology – providing up to fifty thousand images per second – to image neuronal activation through neurovascular coupling, by directly measuring subtle variations in the blood volume of individual voxels in the whole brain.
Applications
Fundamental neuroscience research
Multimodal insightPerform unbiased whole-brain imaging of brain circuits in awake, active animals, study cerebral blood volume variation or neurovascular coupling in genetic models, integrate easily with electrophysiology, optogenetics, guided injections or in any way you envision.
Create your very own experimental paradigm with the power of Iconeus technology at its core in a matter of days rather than months and win the race to discover the next big thing. Iconeus now works with some of the finest labs in the world to help implement their vision.
Pharmacology and drug discovery
Better than BOLDUnsatisfied with inconclusive behavioral results or complicated and expensive fMRI studies?
Iconeus functional ultrasound neuroimaging is the readout you need for reliable results in your drug discovery process. Study, in 4D, real-time functional activation and connectivity between brain structures through neurovascular coupling, including easy-to-perform transcranial imaging in mice models.
Our dedicated software suite makes it simple to perform standardized and reliable measurements and can easily be integrated in your own workflow.
Iconeus is trusted by our big pharma customers around the world to deliver the tools they need.
Stroke and neurovascular research
Time is brainSee a stroke unfolding before your eyes, follow occlusion, reperfusion and early recanalization dynamics right when they happen. Map injured brain territories and quantify longitudinally the efficacy of new treatments.
With Iconeus technology, you can better evaluate the quality of your stroke model and easily triage animals based on early images. Turn your model variability into a strength, gain time and engage in precision biology.
