🧠The gut and brain are more connected than we once imagined. Often called the body’s second brain, the enteric nervous system (ENS) plays a key role in gastrointestinal function and is increasingly linked to neurological disorders.

🔬New publications from WyssGeneva’s NeuroGI team introduce technologies helping researchers study ENS activity and structure at entirely new scales:
🔹A miniature endoscope for high-resolution gut recordings in vivo
🔹enGLOW, a 3D microscopy workflow for organ-scale ENS imaging

These advances are opening new pathways for understanding gut–brain interactions and developing future therapies.

🎥 In this video: Specialized sensory cells known as neuropods detect signals from within the gut and communicate directly with the enteric nervous system — illustrating how the gut actively senses and processes information.

🧠 What question about the brain would you love to have answered in your lifetime?

For Dr. Tracy Laabs, it’s understanding which neural circuits are involved in each individual person’s neural state. While we often know what circuits are implicated when things go wrong, much more research is needed to capture individual differences and how neural circuit function shapes behavior.

🌳 Cerebellum: The Tree of Life

This stunning image of a human cerebellum, captured with the Wyss Center’s mesoSPIM light-sheet microscope, reveals the intricate network of blood vessels labelled with lectin.

Blood flow is vital to brain health, and its dysregulation is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. By visualizing the brain’s vasculature in such detail, researchers are uncovering new insights into how these conditions develop and progress

🌳 Illuminating the Communication Networks of the Spinal Cord

Like glowing branches in a living tree, this image captures neurons in the mouse spinal cord shining in green, while synaptic vesicles — the tiny messengers of communication — glow red, blending into warm orange tones where signals meet.

Understanding how these vesicles function is key to uncovering the roots of synaptic dysfunction, a hallmark of many neurological disorders. This advanced labeling approach supports spinal cord repair, helping scientists target specific neurons to promote axonal regeneration and synaptic plasticity, the nervous system’s remarkable ability to adapt
