Analysis of mouse higher-order visual cortex by differential imaging

黄素荧光成像结合不同速度的图案刺激，使分离和识别小鼠的几个高阶视觉区域成为可能。因此，在此之前难以研究的高阶视觉区域被观察到。各区域神经元在定向选择性和首选刺激速度上的特性不同。在闪光灯条件下繁殖的动物的特性受到干扰。此外，使用神经示踪仪观察各区域的解剖组合。最后，在细胞粘附分子CNR敲除小鼠的高阶视觉区特性中发现了异常。

It became possible to separate and to identify mouse's several higher-order visual areas by the combination with the pattern stimulus having different speed with flavin fluorescent imaging. Therefore the high order visual areas which were difficult to study until that time were observed. The properties of neurons in each area were different in the directional selectivity and the preferred stimulation speed. The property was disturbed in the animal that had bred under the flash light condition. Moreover, the anatomical combinations of each region were observed using with neural traser. Finally, abnormality was discovered in the property of the higher-order visual areas in the knockout mouse of cell-adhesion molecule CNR.
