How can music help us recover from stress? A new study by Chinese scientists suggests the answer may lie in how music unfolds over time. Instead of merely distracting us from a stressful experience, music appears to engage the brain's stress-regulation system through changes in musical tension—the changing sense of anticipation and release that arises from the way music as a whole unfolds over tim

Large-scale recording of multiple dynamic behaviors and quantitative neurochemical concentrations with high spatiotemporal resolution is critical to understand complex brain functions. Two-photon microscopy (TPM) is the excellent choice for brain function imaging because of its high resolution, deep tissue penetration, and favorable biosafety. However, current TPM is limited by a restricted field-
