Combinatorial NeuroImaging Core Facility

The Combinatorial NeuroImaging (CNI) Core Facility at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology combines an outstanding range of imaging techniques for non-invasive human imaging, translational animal imaging and high resolution light microscopy.

As a modern research infrastructure and dialogue platform we aim at supporting our local and external users in their scientific plans and projects with high efficiency and expertise.

The scientific focus is directed at the combination of the different techniques from molecular to the systems level to gain a comprehensive knowledge of learning and memory processes. We refer to this integrative approach as "Combinatorial NeuroImaging".

    Analysis Software

    For image processing and analysis the following software packages are being used at the LIN:

    • Huygens Professional
      commercial deconvolution and image analysis software
    • Imaris
      commercial three-dimensional image analysis software
    • Arivis Vision 4D + InViewR
      commercial three-dimensional image analysis software and virtual reality
    • ImageJ / Fiji
      open-source image analysis software  
  • Small Animal Imaging

    Animal imaging provides an important link between microscopy and human imaging. The available imaging techniques (MRI, SPECT/CT, PET) allow animal experiments that are comparable to studies performed on humans. In addition, animal experiments permit the combination with invasive methods in-vivo. Thus, "molecular imaging" allows to draw conclusions from physiological processes on the molecular level. The combination with pharmacological and electrophysiological methods is particularly revealing with respect to mechanistic explanations of neuronal processes.

    The Combinatorial NeuroImaging Core Facility provides users access to small animal imaging labs equipped with a 9.4 Tesla MR scanner, a SPECT/CT system and a PET scanner. The labs offer the option of sequentially combining the different modalities in the same animal.


    PET and SPECT/CT

    The small-animal in vivo radionuclide imaging lab is equipped with a Philips Mosaic PET scanner and a NanoSPECT/CT scanner (Bioscan/Mediso). PET and SPECT make it possible to visualize the biodistribution of radioactively labeled compounds. The isotropic spatial resolution with the SPECT system at the CNI exceeds 500 µm. Classical fields of application are imaging of brain metabolism and function, neurotransmitter systems and receptor distributions as well as neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation.


    9.4 Tesla Small-Animal Magnetic Resonance Scanner

    In 2018, the LIN has established an ultra-high field magnetic resonance scanner (Bruker BioSpec 94/20 UHF). This scanner is equipped with a cryocoil for high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), providing an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, and with various RF-coils suited for combining MRI techniques (anatomy, functional MRI, spectroscopy, diffusion- and perfusion weighted imaging) with optogenetic, electrophysiological, pharmacological, and similar techniques in rodents.

  • Human Brain Imaging

    For ethical reasons, neuro-scientific research on humans is for the most part confined to non-invasive methods. However, constant innovation in imaging technology and image analysis allows increasingly detailed insight into the human brain.

    Improving both spatial and temporal resolution is the driving force behind such technological developments. Additionally, combining different modalities, for example MRI with EEG or MRI with PET, will allow a much more comprehensive understanding of neuronal processes in the brain.

    The Combinatorial NeuroImaging core facility offers open access to ultra high-field magnetic resonance tomography. We provide modern MR coil technology and all common MR sequences. For functional imaging, we provide high quality visual and auditory stimulation systems as well as monitoring devices for recording physiological parameters and the behavior of subjects.


    3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Funded by the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Philips 3T Achieva dStream was put into operation in November 2013. In addition to common methods for multiparametric anatomical imaging, the scanner is particularly suited for whole-brain fMRI (2 mm isotropic resolution) and simultaneous highly synchronous and artifact-reduced acquisition of EEG signals (64-channel system with carbon wire loop technology). The laboratory is characterized by numerous additional systems for the acquisition of respiration, heart rate, skin conductance, facial expression, pupil size, eye tracking and button-press dynamics. For detailed information about technical equipment at the scanner see our MRI-WIKI. When using the facility mind our lab rules.


    Electroencephalography

    Electroencephalography (EEG) allows detecting the activity of neurons by the generated currents of electrically charged particles (like sodium and potassium) with a high temporal resolution of about one millisecond. An arrangement of special electrodes detects the spatial distribution of the electrical potential generated by the neuronal activity on the surface of the subject’s head. In our lab, several EEG are systems available, including an active 128-electrode device and a MR compatible system.

    Moreover, EEG measurements may be combined with multiple peripheral physiological recording and stimulation methods. Multichannel electromyography, i.e. the measurement of the electrical activity of muscles, measurement of skin conductance and breathing movements, and electrocardiography may be used to capture information on emotional states. Eye tracking and the recording of otoacoustic emissions are possible as well. Transcranial electric stimulation can be used to directly modulate brain activity.


    Sound proof chamber

    CNI operates a sound proof chamber for psychoacoustic studies of individual subjects. This includes audiometric measurement of hearing threshold using Madsen Itera II by Otometrics, characterization of basic auditory skills using MediTECH’s Brain-Boy, and speech comprehension using HörTech’s “Oldenburg Measurement Applications”.


    Mock Scanner

    CNI provides access to a mock MRI scanner including equipment for the presentation of realistic scanner noise and auditory and visual stimuli. The scanner can be used for subjects to become more comfortable in the MRI environment, to train tasks for subsequent fMRI studies and adjust the difficulty level, which may be affected by lying on the back in a narrow and noisy MRI scanner.


    7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    The Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology installed Europe's first 7 Tesla magnetic resonance scanner (MRI) for human studies in a dedicated building adjacent to LIN’s main building and operated it until 2021. In 2022, the device was transferred to the OVGU, but will continue to be available for use as usual.

    The stronger magnetic field generates a greatly improved single to noise ratio which is about twice as good as that of a 3 Tesla MRI. This stronger signal can be traded for higher spatial resolution of an equal factor. Thus, finer structures of the brain can be studied both anatomically and functionally. Furthermore the higher signal can also be used to reduce the required scan time which is particularly useful for learning studies. For detailed information about technical equipment at the scanner see our MRI-WIKI. When using the facility mind our lab rules.

Research Topics

  • Metabolic Activity at Cellular and Systems Level

    Neural as well as glial activity and metabolism are closely related. With increasing activity, the ion movements across mitochondria and cell membranes, as well as glucose and oxygen consumption, increase. Changes in neuronal and glial metabolism trigger changes in local blood flow.

    Within the CNI we use an array of different techniques for imaging neuronal and cerebral metabolism on a macroscopic, mesoscopic and cellular level in order to uncover patterns ofneuronal activity associated with learning and memory-related processes as well as neurodegenerative diseases.

    To study the relationship between neuronal activity and metabolic state, we observe:

    • changes in blood flow, glucose consumption and oxygen metabolism using SPECT, PET and fMRI

    • changes in potassium turnover by means of SPECT imaging and histochemical detection of the K+ probe thallium (Tl+)

    • the intensity and fluorescence lifetime of intrinsic coenzymes (e.g. NADH and FAD) in living neuronal cell cultures

    • Ca2+ imaging and pH changes

     

    Metabolic Imaging at Cellular Level (Weber, Zuschratter)

    Cellular energy production in form of ATP depends on glycolysis and the electron transport chain within mitochondria. As a first step of this complex chain, NADH, which is intrinsically fluorescent (ex. 355nm, em. 460nm), is oxidized to the non-fluorescent NAD+. Measuring the fluorescence lifetime of NADH provides information about the microenvironment of the co-enzyme. Different cellular conditions change the ratio between bound and unbound NADH. Since free NADH has a much shorter fluorescence lifetime compared to protein bound NADH, FLIM can be used to discriminate different metabolic states of a cell, like starvation, oxygen deprivation or higher activity (e.g. cell stress, inflammation).

    By using the ultra-sensitive LINCam in single photon counting mode we study the complex relation between energy metabolism and electrical activity of neuronal cell cultures. Practically, we monitor the autofluorescence of NAD(P)H and FAD up to hours under low light conditions in combination with electrical stimulation or recording of the electrical activity via multi-electrode arrays. Following burst-activity the energy consumption of neurons shows a temporary reduction of NADH fluorescence intensity as well as an increase in the fluorescence lifetime indicating that mainly free NADH of the cytoplasm is oxidized to the non-fluorescent NAD+ whereas protein/enzyme-bound NADH persists.

    Because NADH acts in almost all cells as an intrinsic, non-invasive fluorescence probe that allows for the monitoring of the metabolic dynamics of living cells, there is a huge interest to use the redox couple NAD+/NADH and the fluorescence lifetime characteristics of NADH not only to study the energy turnover in respect to neuronal activity during synaptic plasticity (i.e. learning) but also for medical diagnostics (e.g. neuro-inflammation). Therefore, in future we will develop sensitive tools for the analysis of the relation between energy supply and cellular behaviour.

    FLIM and FRET Measurements (Weber, Herrera-Molina, Zuschratter)

    CNI performs FLIM based FRET measurements of biosensors to evaluate protein-protein interactions by single photon counting with LINCam. In addition, we image biosensors able to report on the concentration of biological relevant ions, i.e. calcium (Ca2+) and proton (H+) as indicators of changes in membrane potential and the intracellular pH due to neuronal activity.

    In-vivo two-photon functional imaging of hippocampal neuronal activity (Fuhrmann, Bauer, Remy)

    The hippocampus is involved in the encoding of episodic memories and hippocampal neuronal activity correlates to spatial information, self-motion, motivation and salience and it is tuned by prior experience or altered in disease conditions. We use in vivo two-photon microscopy combined with genetically-encoded indicators (e.g. genetically encoded calcium indicators GCaMP) to study the hippocampal neuronal circuit in awake behaving mice. This method allows to measure precise spatio-temporal activity patterns, target genetically labeled subpopulations and monitor sub-cellular compartments chronically in head-fixed mice performing spatial behaviors on a linear treadmill.

    Imaging cerebral blood flow and potassium metabolism (Goldschmidt)

    During the past decades a large variety of methods for imaging neuronal activity has been developed but it has remained difficult to assess brain-wide activation patterns in unrestrained behaving rodents. We have developed novel approaches and protocols for addressing this problem. Our methods are based on intravenously injecting rodents during ongoing behavior with tracers for imaging cerebral blood flow and K+-metabolism. The distribution of these tracers can be read out after injection either in vivo using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or in brain sections using histochemical methods. We have patented one of the tracers we use, the lipophilic chelate complex thallium diethyldithiocarbamate (TlDDC), for imaging cerebral K+-metabolism. Our novel approaches can provide images of brain-wide spatial activation patterns - averaged over time periods of a couple of minutes - in unrestrained behaving animals. The techniques are of high value not only for studying learning and memory. They also proof to be very useful for imaging pathological alterations in mouse models of neurological or psychiatric diseases.

  • Functional Neuroanatomy

    Translational Neuromodulation (Deliano)

    The goal of our research activities is to modulate the dynamics of the brain via brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), in order to suppress pathological states. Moreover, we want to induce plastic network changes that sustainably eliminate pathological states without the need of permanent neuromodulation. In close translational collaboration with Lars Büntjen (OVGU University Hospital) we study common principles of clinical neuromodulation. We apply non-invasive, high-density EEG/MEG analysis in patients with well-defined pathological states treated by deep-brain or spinal cord stimulation (SCS). We draw on our longstanding expertise in thalamocortical neurodynamics and its electrical and pharmacological modulation both, in rodents and humans. Being hubs in the thalamocortical circuitry, we consider layer V pyramidal cells as common targets of various forms of clinical neuromodulation. They are major targets of dopaminergic modulation, and represent low-threshold sweet-spots of electric stimulation. We hypothesize that they are also involved in the generation of pathological thalamocortical oscillations observable in the EEG/MEG in various neuropsychiatric diseases. First results from patients receiving SCS-treatment of neuropathic pain, confirm that thalamocortical EEG-oscillations can be specifically linked to effects and side-effects of neuromodulation by SCS.

    Hemispheric interactions during auditory learning (Angenstein, Budinger, Michalek, Wenk)

    The left and right auditory cortex are differentially specialized for the processing of distinct spectral and temporal acoustic features (e.g., frequency, duration), which lead, for example, to a left-hemispheric dominance for the processing of speech and species-specific vocalizations. Longstanding research at the LIN has demonstrated that common mechanisms exist in humans and rodents that underlie lateralized auditory cortex functions; however, the role of functional hemispheric interactions during auditory processing and in particular learning still remains unclear. Moreover, it is not understood how these interactions change due to a decline of the underlying anatomical prerequisites (corpus callosum, anterior commissure) and how dysfunctions of the interhemispheric connectivities may be compensated. Using an animal model of auditory learning (Mongolian gerbil), Go/No-Go behavioral paradigms, selective photolytic apoptosis of commissural neurons, and functional magnetic resonance tomography (fMRI) under binaural stimulation (including contralateral noise procedure) this project aims at revealing the effect of disruption of interhemispheric crosstalk during auditory learning. Thereby, the identification of compensatory mechanisms may lead to new therapeutic approaches for rehabilitation of patients with compromised hemispheric interaction (e.g., in the elderly) and/or with unilateral brain lesions (e.g., tumors).

    Functional anatomy of the brain during health and disease (Akter, Bhattacharjee, Budinger, Goldschmidt, Wenk)

    Neuroinflammatory infectious diseases like cerebral malaria and toxoplasmosis as well as age-related neurodegenerations such as Parkinson and Alzheimer disease often lead to severe alterations of the brain structure and function. In several projects combining state-of-the-art immunohistological brain staining techniques and non-invasive small animal imaging like SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) we investigate the progress of these diseases and causal links between anatomical changes and specific dysfunctions of the brain. We also test diverse therapeutic approaches like pharmacological interventions and non-invasive TDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation).

    Superresolution Microscopy (Kobler, Zuschratter)

    Microscopy beyond the diffraction limit has become very popular in recent years and many efforts have been done to improve the resolution limit down to few 10th of nanometer by taking advantage of the fact that fluorophores can repeatedly be switched between an on and off state. In CNI these advanced light microscopic techniques are mainly used to discover colocalizations within the molecular machinery on both sides of synaptic contacts (see: Hradsky J., et al. 2013; Fidzinski P., et al. 2015; Mikhaylova, M., et al., 2018).

    Metal induced energy transfer (Weber, Zuschratter)

    Metal induced energy transfer (MIET) is a nanoscopy technique to measure distances from fluorescent molecules to a metal film. Here we applied MIET acquisition using wide-field and TIRF fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) in combination with a position sensitive single photon counting camera system (LINCam) to study T-cell receptor clustering within the plasma membrane of lymphocytes.

    Figure: T-lymphocytes transfected with GFP-Lck were fixed on gold coated coverslips with a layer of CD3 antibodies. Under standard epifluorescence illumination (a, d) conditions the T-cells show the typical lifetime and intensity for GFP after excitation with a 488 nm pulsed laser. Switching to TIRF illumination (b, e) revealed a much higher lifetime contrast related to the MIET effect near the gold coating. Using a maximum entropy method (MEM) to discriminate fluorescence lifetime components, we show that the fast lifetime components of 0,38 ns and 0,82 ns form typical clustering of the protein kinase (c, f) along the plasma membrane after T-cell receptor stimulation by the CD3 antibodies.

    Lightsheet Microscopy (Kobler)

    In addition to high-resolution microscopy 3D visualization of labeled structures in intact transparent tissue is a key topic of CNI. To this end, in cooperations with Dept. Genetics of Learning and Memory (B. Gerber, T. Saumweber), Dept. Neurochemistry and Molecular Biology (U. Thomas) and the Small Animal subunit of CNI (E. Budinger) we develop protocols for optimal clarification of Drosophila larvae and rodent brains and generate 3D records in the order of 50-400 GB by confocal or light-sheet microscopy.

    Electron Microscopy (Faber-Zuschratter, Stöter, Zuschratter)

    Correlative super-resolution Light- and Electron Microscopy (CLEM), large scale electron microscopy as well as cryo-EM and 3D FIB-SEM are powerful tools to discover structural and functional changes at the ultrastructural level.

    Within CNI we use CLEM and 3D FIB-SEM techniques to:

    • analyse modifications in synaptic profiles of brain tissue or cell cultures
    • explore the molecular organization and dynamics of the immune synapse (IS)

    Figure: Overview and regions of interest from a series of ultrathin sections of hippocampal mouse brain.

    Since CNI doesn't own such instrumentation the necessary imaging techniques (e.g. 3D scanning electron microscope (SEM)) are provided by several collaborating facilities at Univ. Zürich, Univ. Utrecht and EMBL Heidelberg. The latter two belong to the European CORBEL network, which provides shared services for life sciences and grants travel funds to members of CNI.

  • Dynamics of Learning & Cognition

    Neural, psychophysiological and behavioral dynamics of learning by feedback (Lommerzheim, Wolff, Angenstein, Stadler, Brechmann)

    Tutorial systems in a learning environment should support the user in reaching his specific leaning goals and react to his level of knowledge and individual abilities in a pedagogical reasonable manner. For this a comprehensive model of the user is essential taking the user’s prior knowledge and interaction history into account as well as his current affective state. Our research project will focus on an interactive learning task, in which the user is supported by a tutorial system component. Neurophysiological data (fMRT, EEG) and psychophysiological data (ECG, skin conductance, respiration) as well as details of user’s behavior (dynamics of key stroke, facial expressions) are recorded synchronously, in order to determine changing affective and cognitive user states by multimodal data analysis. The interdisciplinary analysis and interpretation of the interconnection between the partially weak signals of the single modalities, and the development and optimization of the classifiers for affect recognition are the primary goals of our research project.

    Brain mechanisms of information processing in dialogues (Wolff, Angenstein, Brechmann)

    Humans interpret interactions with technical systems as a dialogue. Each action of the system represents a feedback on the previous action of the user, who may utilize it for goal-oriented actions in subsequent interaction steps and interprets it with regard to a potential intentionality of the system. Neuroscientifically, these dynamic processes and their interplay with mutual adaptation of behavior and the derivation of intentions and goals of the counterpart have hardly been investigated. The subproject deals with the question which neurobiological mechanisms to consider when conceptualizing anticipatory assistive systems. The aim is to record the temporal dynamics of the neuronal activity of dialog-relevant brain systems as well as psychophysiological and behavioral parameters during the course of interactive problem solving. From this, hypotheses about current strategies and intentions of the user are derived, which serve as a basis for tailor-made interventions and metadialogs initiated by technical systems. Understanding the effects of such dialogical interventions on brain activity and behavior will contribute to the neuroscientific foundation of human-computer interactions.

    Effect of aging on lateralization of auditory processing and hemispheric interaction (Stadler, Brechmann, Angenstein)

    The goal of this project is to better understand the deficits in central auditory processing in individuals with hearing impairment. Speech processing requires the processing of various basic acoustic parameters. The left and right auditory cortex are involved to different degrees in these processes. This different lateralization of processing requires efficient cooperation of the auditory cortices of both hemispheres during auditory processing. There is evidence that the lateralization of processing in the brain and the interaction between the hemispheres changes with age which may cause hearing deficits. We investigate how hemispheric involvement and hemispheric interaction in audition changes with age and what effect this has on auditory cognitive abilities. We want to develop intervention approaches to improve hemispheric interaction in old adults on an individual level to enable good listening competence.

    Lateralized auditory processing in cochlear implant users (Seidel, Stadler, Deliano, Angenstein)

    Many people with severe hearing loss can be helped to hear well with cochlear implants. However, there are significant differences in speech perception and hearing quality between users after implantation. We investigate the relationships between implantation, lateralisation of auditory processing and hemispheric interaction in cochlear implant users. The aim is to improve the speech competence of cochlear implant users by taking into account the knowledge of the central processing of basic acoustic parameters of each individual user at each level of clinical care. The reasons for the significant differences in speech perception and hearing quality after cochlear implantation will be revealed. This should allow for an adjustment of the treatment to achieve the best possible hearing quality and speech competence after implantation.

    Neural basis of program comprehension (Peitek, Brechmann)

    Software developers spend most of their time with reading and understanding source code. Early theories of program comprehension have proposed hypothesis-driven (top-down) mechanisms and line-by-line (bottom-up) mechanisms of understanding code. However, the underlying cognitive processes of top-down and bottom-up program comprehension are still essentially unclear.

    In the first project phase, we have set out to directly studying these processes by means of objective measures obtained from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We have identified a set of brain regions specifically involved when participants are trying to understand source code. The pattern of activation was indicative of semantic processing tied to the left, i.e., the speech hemisphere, as well as attention and working memory functions. Promoting top-down comprehension, e.g., by informative beacons, have led to reduced activation in some of these brain areas, suggesting less cognitive effort, which we have confirmed by behavioral data. Our results have paved the way for other researchers using our neuro-imaging approach for follow-up studies on program comprehension.

    The second project phase will refine our experimental framework by including eye tracking for specifying the time course of visual attention to inform a more specific analysis of the fMRI data as well as psycho-physiological measures (pupillometry, skin conductance, heart rate, and respiration) to identify changes in cognitive load. With this approach, we will study the impact of structural code elements (if-then-else statements, loops, recursion) as well as programming experience on top-down program comprehension and concomitant objective measures of brain activity, psycho-physiology, and behavior. Finally, based on the progress in the neurosciences on the neural basis of object processing, we will tackle the long-standing question about differences between object-oriented and functional programming.

    LINCam: Development of an ultra-sensitive, time-resolving research camera for functional imaging (Yury Prokazov, Evgeny Turbin, André Weber, Werner Zuschratter)

    In addition to spatial and temporal resolution, the sensitivity of detection poses the greatest challenge in the microscopic examination of living cells and tissues. Taken into account that all existing microscope systems put living samples enormously under stress, we have developed a minimally invasive imaging system for the visualization of biosensors in native cells and tissues. The technical realization resulted in a patented and award-winning ultra-sensitive, time-resolved wide-field quantum detector with a wide range of applications. It has been used successfully in several research projects for FLIM and FRET measurements of biosensors (Stirnweiss et al. 2013; Philipson et al. 2017), but also for determination of pH and Ca2+ sensors, label-free metabolic imaging (Weber et al., 2017), single molecule detection (Oleksiievets et al., 2020), quantum optics and Raman spectroscopy (Konugolu et al., 2018). Since the camera system displayed a major market potential, the spin-off “Photonscore GmbH” was founded in 2017 that successfully markets the technology since then under the name “LINCam”.
