Modularity and Robustness of Frontal Cortical Networks

Nuo Li (Baylor College of Medicine, USA) shares novel insights into coordinated interhemispheric large-scale neural network activity underpinning short-term memory in mice. Relevant techniques covered include: simultaneous multi-regional recordings using multiple 64-channel H probes during head-fixed behavior in mice. simultaneous optogenetics and population recording. analysis of population recordings to infer interactions between brain regions.
