The article presents a study on wearable whole-brain imaging device to asses rodent's behavior and brain functions. It says that the imaging technique provides a noninvasive window to envision a rodent's brain health and response to therapeutic interventions. It mentions several imaging technologies such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging. It also features the study conducted by Daniela Schulz and colleagues on the use of wearable PET scanner in rat.
