Intrinsic Optical Imaging of Functional Map Development in Mammalian Visual Cortex

Adapted from Imaging in Neuroscience (ed. Helmchen and Konnerth). CSHL Press, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA, 2011.

Abstract

Here we describe how intrinsic imaging of the visual cortex can be used as a chronic technique. This method allows the time course of the development of cortical maps to be studied in a single animal during a period of up to 1 yr.
