Techniques
Awake, behaving rodents, as well as anesthetized and in vitro preparations, are used as a part of our ongoing research.
Our technical expertise includes:
- intracellular recording
- in vivo multisite extracellular recording
- design and fabrication of micro electrode arrays
- juxtacellular staining with paraformaldehyde fixable lipophilic dyes
- intracortical electrical, pharmacological, and optical (optogenetic) microstimulation
- brain bow labeling
- viral expression and tracing
- 3D histology including tissue clearing and immunochemistry analytical and numerical methods for data analysis
- single cell and network modeling
- synaptic conductance estimation
- simple behavioral test by rodents
- treadmill locomotion
- video monitoring and analysis of animal behaviors
