December 13, 2019 – Adam Cohen – Using all-optical electrophysiology to study the neural circuits in vivo

Neuroscience Seminar Series

Friday, December 13th. 2019, 11:30, R229 (2e étage), Centre Universitaire des Saints Pères, 45 rue des Saints Pères, 75006 Paris

Adam E. Cohen, Professor , Department of Chemestry and Chemical Biology and Physics, Harvard University, USA Title: Using all-optical electrophysiology to study the neural circuits in vivo Abstract: High-resolution voltage imaging in vivo has long been a dream of neuroscientists. Recent advances in voltage indicator proteins, optics, and software bring this dream closer to reality. This talk will describe tools for all-optical electrophysiology in behaving mice, and application to dissecting the function of cortical Layer 1 in the mouse somatosensory cortex.
