Understanding the spatio-temporal features of the information processing occurring in any
complex neural structure requires the monitoring and analysis of the activity in populations …

Since optical imaging (OI) of intrinsic signals was first developed in the 1980s, significant
advances have been made regarding our understanding of the origins of the recorded …

To investigate the functional organization of object recognition, the technique of optical
imaging was applied to the primate inferotemporal cortex, which is thought to be essential …

A number of new imaging techniques are available to scientists to visualize the functioning
brain directly, revealing unprecedented details. These imaging techniques have provided a …

In the last decade, the measurement of activity-dependent intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) in
excitable tissues has become a useful tool for collecting data about spatial patterns of …

We used optical imaging of intrinsic signals to characterize the functional representations of
mystacial vibrissae (whiskers) in rat somatosensory cortex. Stimulation of individual …

Functional brain imaging using endogenous fluorescence of mitochondrial flavoprotein is
useful for investigating mouse cortical activities via the intact skull, which is thin and …

The suprathreshold tonotopic organization of rat and guinea pig auditory cortex was
investigated using intrinsic signal optical imaging through a thinned skull. Optical imaging …

We applied the intrinsic optical imaging technique to the human primary somatosensory
cortex during brain tumor/epilepsy surgery for nine patients. The cortical surface was …

Using pure-tone sound stimulation, three separate auditory areas are revealed by optical
imaging of intrinsic signals in the temporal cortex of the chinchilla (Chinchilla laniger). These …
