In vitro functional imaging in brain slices using fast voltage-sensitive dye imaging combined with whole-cell patch recording
In many brain areas, circuit connectivity is segregated into specific lamina or glomerula. Functional imaging in these anatomically discrete areas is particularly useful in characterizing circuit properties. Voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) imaging directly assays the spatiotemporal dynamics of neuronal activity, including the functional connectivity of the
