Optical imaging and electrophysiology of rat barrel cortex. II. Responses to paired-vibrissa deflections.
Abstract
A study was undertaken to investigate the response of the rodent somatosensory barrel cortex to paired-whisker stimuli. Cortical responses to controlled whisker deflections were recorded by (i) conventional multi-unit extracellular recording within the cytochrome oxidase rich barrels centers, and (ii) intrinsic signal optical imaging, a technique that measures an optical correlate of neuronal activity thought to be related to the deoxygenation …
