What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope!

Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals.

Is autism genetic? Why yes, yes it is.

Thinking Person's Guide to Autism @thinkingautism.com · Apr 15

Autism has nothing to do with vaccines, or any kind of post-birth exposure or environmental factor. In fact, research shows that "autism is hereditary and therefore does run in families. […] The remaining cases likely stem from non-inherited mutations."
