In this review, we discuss the use of imaging to visualize the spatiotemporal organization of
network activity in the developing spinal cord of the chick embryo and the neonatal mouse …

Recent developments in the design of voltage‐sensitive dyes and of recording apparatuses
for detecting voltage‐dependent changes in the optical properties of such dyes have …

To regulate the autonomic function, the vagus nerve transfers various sensory information
from peripheral organs, and appropriate motor reflexes are produced in the neural circuit …

Multiple-site optical recording with a fast voltage-sensitive dye, absorption dye NK2761, was
used to study the developmental organization of functional synaptic networks in the vagal …

The functional organization of the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) during the early
phase of development has long been unclear, because conventional electrophysiological …

Clarification of the functiogenesis of the embryonic central nervous system (CNS) has long
been problematic, because conventional electrophysiological techniques have several …

To examine whether there are any differences in functional organization between the
glossopharyngeal nerve (N. IX)–and vagus nerve (N. X)–projecting areas in the nucleus of …

The central issue in developmental neuroscience is when and how neural synaptic networks
are established and become functional within the central nervous system (CNS) …

The glossopharyngeal nerve (N. IX) transfers motor and sensory information related to
visceral and somatic functions, such as salivary secretion, gustation and the control of blood …

Using voltage-sensitive dye recording, we surveyed neural responses related to the vagus
nerve in the embryonic chick brainstem. In our previous studies, we identified four vagus …
