New Publication – Genetically expressed voltage sensor ArcLight for imaging large scale cortical activity in the anesthetized and awake mouse

With the recent breakthrough in genetically expressed voltage indicators (GEVIs), there has been a tremendous demand to determine the capabilities of these sensors in vivo. Novel voltage sensitive fluorescent proteins allow for direct measurement of neuron membrane potential changes through changes in fluorescence. Here, we utilized ArcLight, a recently developed … More New Publication – Genetically expressed voltage sensor ArcLight for imaging large scale cortical activity in the anesthetized and awake mouse

New Research Article – Thalamic state control of cortical paired-pulse dynamics

In this research article, Whitmire and colleagues have been able to utilize optogenetic modulation of thalamic firing modes combined with optical imaging of cortex in the rat vibrissa system to directly test the role of thalamic state in shaping cortical response properties. Abstract: Sensory stimulation drives complex interactions across neural … More New Research Article – Thalamic state control of cortical paired-pulse dynamics
