Optogenetic approaches for functional mouse brain mapping
To better understand the connectivity of the brain, it is important to map both structural and functional connections between neurons and cortical regions. In recent years, a set of optogenetic tools have been developed that permit selective manipulation and investigation of neural systems. These tools have enabled the mapping of functional connections between stimulated cortical targets and ot...
متن کاملOptogenetic Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (ofMRI): Genetically Targeted In Vivo Brain Circuit Mapping
Introduction: BOLD [1] signals reflect complex and incompletely understood changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), volume (CBV), and metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2) following neuronal activity [2]. Candidate circuit elements for triggering BOLD signal include excitatory neurons, mixed neuronal populations, astroglia, and axonal tracts or fibers of passage [3]. Importantly, it is not ...
متن کاملConnectomics: comprehensive approaches for whole-brain mapping.
The aim of connectomics analysis is to understand whole-brain neural connections. This is accomplished using new biotechnologies. Here, we provide an overview of the recent progress in connectomics analysis. The entire neural network of an organism was revealed for the first time in the nematode. Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) have an advantage of their limited number of neurons and their ...
متن کاملOptogenetic Approaches in Neuroscience
The recently introduced term 'optogenetics' describes a variety of techniques for expressing genes in nerve cells that render them responsive to light. This approach makes use of light-sensitive channel proteins that can be used to manipulate neuronal function. Using genetic strategies, these channel proteins can be expressed in neurons defined by a common genetic identity, which can then be se...
متن کاملFunctional Brain Mapping
FUNCTIONAL BRAIN MAPPING may be useful for both preoperative planning and intraoperative neurosurgical decision making. “Gold standard” functional studies such as direct electrical stimulation and recording are complemented by newer, less invasive techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging. Less invasive techniques allow more areas of the brain to be mapped in more subjects (inclu...
