[HTML][HTML] The fiber-optic imaging and manipulation of neural activity during animal behavior
D Miyamoto, M Murayama - Neuroscience research, 2016 - Elsevier
Recent progress with optogenetic probes for imaging and manipulating neural activity has
further increased the relevance of fiber-optic systems for neural circuitry research. Optical
fibers, which bi-directionally transmit light between separate sites (even at a distance of
several meters), can be used for either optical imaging or manipulating neural activity
relevant to behavioral circuitry mechanisms. The method's flexibility and the specifications of
the light structure are well suited for following the behavior of freely moving animals …
