Synopsis: This volume explores the latest techniques used to study how mesoscale imaging can be applied in various areas of neuroscientific research. The chapters in this book are organized into four parts: Part One highlights novel imaging modalities, such as neurotransmitter and single-cell resolution imaging and analyses of neuroimaging data in awake rodents. Part Two covers technical innovations such as head-mounted camera systems, multi-site photometry, and concurrent imaging-electrographic probes. Part Three presents methods of mesoscale imaging during normal behavior, and Part Four looks at the mesoscale imaging methods used to study neurological diseases and disorders that are critical to observe in the non-anesthetized condition. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and thorough, Awake Behaving Mesoscopic Brain Imaging is a valuable resource for both novice and expert researchers who are interested in learning more about this exciting and innovative topic.
