The mission of the MP Center Core is: 

• to provide equipment, instruction, and technical support for the safe and productive use of multiphoton microscopy and its integration with electrophysiology and molecular uncaging.

• to transfer software development and hardware characterization of imaging workstation systems designed to optimize electical and optical stimulations while recording cellular optical and electrical repsonses.
• to increase access to and understanding of viable imaging and rapid analysis to both stem cell migration and dendrite voltage responses in acute (living) brain slices.
