Application of the differential flavoprotein fluorescence imaging for analysis of the functional neural circuits

我们已经建立了精确和有效地将神经示踪剂注射到单个皮质区域的程序，这些区域对加速视觉刺激有反应，并通过深度麻醉小鼠的差异黄蛋白荧光成像可见。我们首先确定了一些具有加速视觉刺激处理中心的丘脑区域，并在上丘发现了皮质区域不同的终止。

We have established procedures for the exact and efficient injection of the neural tracer into the individual cortical areas, which reacted to speed-up visual stimuli and were visualized by the differential flavoprotein fluorescence imaging in deeply anesthetized mice. We have firstly identified some thalamic areas with processing center of speed-up visual stimuli, and also found cortical areal distinct terminations in the superior colliculus.
