Optical intrinsic signal mapping of rod- and cone-mediated visual cortex responses in mice
We used optical imaging of intrinsic signals to study visual cortex responses in three mouse strains: wild-type (C57BL/6J), a strain with only rod function (cpfl1), and a strain with only cone function (rho(-/-)). A stationary flicker light stimulus with intensity ranging from 10(8.6) to 10(15.5) photons/cm2/s was used. We found that the intrinsic signal patterns exhibited stimulus intensity-de...
متن کاملTemporally staggered forelimb stimulation modulates barrel cortex optical intrinsic signal responses to whisker stimulation.
Characterization of neurovascular relationships is critical to accurate interpretation of functional neuroimaging data. We have previously observed spatial uncoupling of optical intrinsic signal imaging (OIS) and evoked potential (EP) responses in rodent barrel cortex following simultaneous whisker and forelimb stimulation, leading to changes in OIS response magnitude. To further test the hypot...
متن کاملSuprathreshold auditory cortex activation visualized by intrinsic signal optical imaging.
The suprathreshold tonotopic organization of rat and guinea pig auditory cortex was investigated using intrinsic signal optical imaging through a thinned skull. Optical imaging revealed that suprathreshold pure sine wave tone stimulation (25-80 dB) evoked activity over large cortical areas that were tonotopically organized. Three-dimensional surface plots of the activated areas revealed "patchy...
متن کاملIntrinsic signal imaging of deprivation-induced contraction of whisker representations in rat somatosensory cortex.
In classical sensory cortical map plasticity, the representation of deprived or underused inputs contracts within cortical sensory maps, whereas spared inputs expand. Expansion of spared inputs occurs preferentially into nearby cortical columns representing temporally correlated spared inputs, suggesting that expansion involves correlation-based learning rules at cross-columnar synapses. It is ...
متن کاملRapid stimulus-evoked astrocyte Ca2+ elevations and hemodynamic responses in mouse somatosensory cortex in vivo.
Increased neuron and astrocyte activity triggers increased brain blood flow, but controversy exists over whether stimulation-induced changes in astrocyte activity are rapid and widespread enough to contribute to brain blood flow control. Here, we provide evidence for stimulus-evoked Ca(2+) elevations with rapid onset and short duration in a large proportion of cortical astrocytes in the adult m...
