Mouse jugular-nodose ganglia imaging on the exposed vagus nerve
Acute peripheral imaging of vagal sensory neurons in a transgenic GCaMP line, with the ganglion exposed on a mesh retractor rather than implanted.

Notes
Included deliberately as a boundary case: no craniotomy, no lens, no chronic implant. It shows the registry's scope is optical access to a neural population, not the brain specifically.
