NAPE Seminar: Dr. Nick Steinmetz
Dr. Nick Steinmetz will speak on "Closed-loop neuroscience at the brain-wide scale."
The neural circuits underlying perception and cognition are distributed, spanning brain regions from the cortex
to the hindbrain, and they exhibit dynamic, complex, and correlated activity patterns. To build a causal
understanding of the mechanisms by which such circuits operate, we require tools that enable measurement and manipulation at a large-scale while retaining precision.
In this talk, I will discuss two experimental systems for achieving this goal. First, I will describe 'Neuropixels Opto' a light-emitting electrophysiological probe. This device enables high-quality and high-throughput opto-tagging as well as focal manipulation alongside simultaneous readout at single-cell spatial and millisecond temporal resolution.
Second, I will describe a system for combining whole-cortex 'widefield' fluorescence imaging with
simultaneous whole-cortex optogenetic targeting. This system enables mesoscopic measurement and…
