Simultaneous two-photon voltage or calcium imaging and multi-channel LFP recordings in barrel cortex of awake and anesthetized mice

<p>Neuronal population activity, both spontaneous and sensory-evoked, generates propagating waves in cortex. However, high spatiotemporal-resolution mapping of these waves is difficult as calcium imaging, the work horse of current imaging, does not reveal subthreshold activity.</p> <p>Here, we present a platform combining voltage or calcium two-photon imaging with multi-channel local field potential (LFP) recordings in different layers of the barrel cortex from anesthetized and awake head-restrained mice. A chronic cranial window with access port allows injecting a viral vector expressing GCaMP6f or the voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) ANNINE-6plus, as well as entering the brain with a multi-channel neural probe. We present both average spontaneous activity and average evoked signals in response to multi-whisker air-puff stimulations.</p> <p>Time domain analysis shows the dependence of the evoked responses on the cortical layer and on the state of the animal, here separated into anesthetized, awake but resting, and running. The simultaneous data acquisition allows to compare the average membrane depolarization measured with ANNINE-6plus with the amplitude and shape of the LFP recordings. The calcium imaging data connects these data sets to the large existing database of this important second messenger. Interestingly, in the calcium imaging data, we found a few cells which showed a decrease in calcium concentration in response to vibrissa stimulation in awake mice.</p> <p>This system offers a multimodal technique to study the spatiotemporal dynamics of neuronal signals through a 3D architecture in vivo. It will provide novel insights on sensory coding, closing the gap between electrical and optical recordings.</p>

A Model of Rat Non-barrel Somatosensory Cortex Anatomy

<p><strong>A full description of the model is available in the two companion manuscripts:&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.08.11.503144v3.abstract">Modeling and Simulation of Neocortical Micro- and Mesocircuitry. Part I: Anatomy</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.17.541168v5">Modeling and Simulation of Neocortical Micro- and Mesocircuitry. Part II: Physiology and Experimentation</a></p> <p><em>We kindly ask that you cite these papers, as well as the Zenodo repository, in any articles or presentations using the model or any of its constituent components.</em></p> <p>---</p> <p>We present a data-driven computational model of the anatomy of non-barrel primary somatosensory cortex of juvenile rat. The modeling process is based on a previously established workflow for a single cortical column, but is extended here to build a much larger circuit in an atlas-based geometry. Neurons in the model belong to 60 different morphological types and are connected by synapses placed by two established algorithms, one modeling local connectivity determined by axo-dendritic overlap, and one for long-range connectivity between sub-regions. Long-range connectivity is defined with topographic mapping and laminar connectivity profiles, providing intrinsic feed-forward and feedback pathways. Additionally, we incorporate core- and matrix-type thalamocortical projection systems, associated with VPM and POm thalamic nuclei respectively, that enable extrinsic input.</p> <p>The model comprises 211712 neurons in the front limb and jaw subregions and the dysgranular zone of the Paxinos &amp; Watson rat brain atlas, scaled down to juvenile size. It is available in the open <a href="https://github.com/AllenInstitute/sonata">SONATA</a> standard and contains neuron locations and their properties (such as morphological types, cortical layer, etc.), their detailed morphologies, and synaptic connectivity associated with all systems described above. Modeled synapses are associated with their exact location in the dendritic tree, and additional anatomical parameters, such as spine length (where biologically plausible). Extrinsic synaptic connections from neurons in the remainder of non-barrel somatosensory cortex and thalamic inputs are also contained.</p> <p>Note that this is an <em>anatomical</em> model: Parameters and files related to neuronal and synaptic <em>physiology</em> can be found in our <a href="../record/7930276">release of the <em>physiological </em>model</a>.</p> <p><strong>[UPDATE 23/07/17]: </strong>Added a zip archive containing the voxel atlas data used. This comprises the region atlas (brain_regions, hierarchy) and generated voxelized densities for each neuron type ([cell_density]*). All atlas files are in the .nrrd format, best loaded using the python package <a href="https://github.com/BlueBrain/voxcell">voxcell</a>. The atlas files cover the entire S1 regions, with the location of the part of the model released here indicated by <em>published_volume.nrrd. </em><strong>All other files remained unchanged!</strong></p> <p>Please refer to the documentation of the SONATA format for information how to load and analyze the model. A jupyter notebook has been included with basic examples of how to load the data using our open-source packages <a href="https://neurom.readthedocs.io/en/stable/">NeuroM</a> and <a href="https://bluebrainsnap.readthedocs.io/en/stable/">Blue Brain SNAP</a>.</p> <p><em>This study was supported by funding to the Blue Brain Project, a research center of the Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne (EPFL), from the Swiss government&rsquo;s ETH Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology.

Data from: Olfactory modulation of barrel cortex activity during active whisking and passive whisker stimulation

<p>Rodents depend on olfaction and touch to meet many of their fundamental needs. The joint significance of these sensory systems is underscored by an intricate coupling between sniffing and whisking. However, the impact of simultaneous olfactory and tactile inputs on sensory representations in the cortex remains elusive. To study these interactions, we recorded large populations of barrel cortex neurons using 2-photon calcium imaging in head-fixed mice during olfactory and tactile stimulation. We find that odors alter barrel cortex activity in at least two ways, first by enhancing whisking, and second by central cross-talk that persists after whisking is abolished by facial nerve sectioning. Odors can either enhance or suppress barrel cortex neuronal responses, and while odor identity can be decoded from population activity, it does not interfere with the tactile representation. Thus, barrel cortex represents olfactory information which, in the absence of learned associations, is coded independently of tactile information.</p>
