The advances in the field of optics and laser technologies are helpful to visualize and investigate the metabolism in live animals. Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is a non-invasive optical technique to measure the fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore towards its applications where fluorescence intensity-based techniques do not provide sufficient and accurate information to discriminate auto-fluorescent species. In contrast to conventional single photon excitation, two-photon excitation improves the penetration depth with low scattering of the longer wavelength to examine thick biological samples. In this work, we explain our 2photon-FLIM methodology for imaging mouse brains via a cranial window to investigate the changes in the NAD(P)H bound coenzyme, in both wild type and Alzheimer disease (AD) animal models before and after stimulation with nutrients. Moreover, phasor plot analysis has been used for removing lower a2(%) fraction from the metabolic trajectory.
