Description
Book SynopsisIn this shortform book, Sun, French, and Unnithan explore state-of-the-art optical recording techniques, with a focus on the revolutionary miniaturized fluorescence microscope â the miniscope â for real-time and in vivo monitoring of multi-neuronal dynamics during cognition-related events.
The miniscope is a powerful tool that allows real-time in vivo optical recording of multi-neuronal activity in freely moving animals. This book highlights the use of the miniscope in the context of the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for memory and cognition. The authors employ a combination of theoretical concepts, practical applications, and illustrative case studies to deliver a comprehensive understanding of optical recording techniques. They provide step-by-step guides for using the miniscope, offer insights into data analysis, and discuss its implications in the context of hippocampal research and brainâcomputer interfaces. Readers will gain profound insights into
