Abstract
This webinar will showcase new approaches for electrophysiological recordings using our silicon neural probes and surface arrays combined with diverse optical methods such as wide-field or 2-photon imaging, fiber photometry, and optogenetic perturbations in awake, behaving mice. Multi-modal recording of single units and local field potentials across cortex, hippocampus and thalamus alongside calcium activity via GCaMP6F in cortical neurons in triple-transgenic animals or in hippocampal astrocytes via viral transduction are brought to bear to reveal hitherto inaccessible and under-appreciated aspects of coordinated dynamics in the brain.
