Heading level 2

Paragraph text with a text link , and emphasis . We introduced the combined use of genetically encoded substrate sensors and two-photon laser scanning microscopy in the intact brain.

Heading level 3

This toolset brings research on brain energy metabolism to the next level as it allows real-time measurements of substrate concentrations in identified single cells .
