This protocol describes the synthesis of biofunctionalized Prussian blue nanoparticles and their use as multimodal, molecular imaging agents. The nanoparticles have a core-shell design where gadolinium or manganese ions within the nanoparticle core generate MRI contrast. The biofunctional shell contains fluorophores for fluorescence imaging and targeting ligands for molecular targeting.

2025
A wide-field Fourier-transform microscope, based on a compact and ultra-stable birefringent interferometer, allows the parallel acquisition of spectra for all pixels of a 2D detector. The time-domain approach enables the disentanglement of photoluminescence and Raman signals, and allows rapid Raman mapping (~5 ms/pixel) with ~1-µm spatial and 23-cm-1 spectral resolution.
FAQs
Multisensory integration is more likely when signals from different modalities occur at related times, come from related locations, or convey related meaning. These relationships help the nervous system treat separate cues as connected information rather than unrelated events. In behavioral studies, changing one relationship at a time can reveal how strongly it contributes to perception and the resulting response.
Combined cues can provide information that is richer or more informative than a single sensory signal, allowing the nervous system to alter how an event is perceived and acted upon. The behavioral outcome may therefore become stronger or change in character. This makes Multimodal Stimuli useful for examining how sensory information shapes attention, decisions, and responses to environmental events.
Researchers can examine behavior under combined visual, auditory, tactile, or olfactory conditions and compare it with behavior associated with the corresponding sensory information. Such comparisons help identify whether integration changes the response relative to information from one modality alone. The approach is relevant to studying perception, learning, attention, and decision-making across both animal and human behavior.
Meaning helps determine whether signals from different modalities are treated as related information. Cues that convey a sufficiently related event can be integrated, whereas less related information may not produce the same combined effect. Examining this relationship allows behavioral researchers to connect sensory processing with communication, learning, and interpretation of complex environments.
An experiment can present combinations of sensory cues, such as visual and auditory information, while examining behavioral outcomes. Researchers can vary the modalities and their timing, location, or meaning to test the conditions supporting integration. This design helps investigate attention, learning, decision-making, communication, and responses to realistic environmental situations rather than relying on a single type of cue.
They are especially useful when researchers want to model the complexity of everyday environments, where events commonly provide information through more than one sensory channel. Studies in animals and humans can use these cues to investigate how perception guides behavior and to clarify the neural basis of sensory integration, including effects on attention, communication, and decisions.
These studies can show how combined sensory information affects perception and behavioral responses, including processes related to attention, learning, decision-making, and communication. They also provide a way to examine neural mechanisms underlying perception by linking sensory integration with observable behavior. The findings can inform research on realistic experimental designs, assistive technologies, and interactive systems.
