While there are many neuroimaging modalities to study the brain, each comes with its own set of benefits and limitations. MRI and EEG can record from the whole brain, but it comes at the price of limited spatiotemporal resolution and low sensitivity. Recently, functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging has made a name for itself, with its ability to image the full depth of the brain and provide a quantitative view of brain activation and connectivity.
In this webinar, Dr. Pierre Pouget discusses the use of fUS imaging to assess local changes in cerebral blood flow in awake, behaving non-human primates. He provides an overview of fUS technology and highlight recent and ongoing research showing how unexpected functions can be tracked in the fronto-medial cortex.
Dr. Serge Picaud discusses the application fUS imaging to study the neural circuits underlying vision in rats and nonhuman primates. He presents recent research using fUS in rats to study activation of the visual system, and in NHPs to map brain activity and to study ocular dominance columns in the visual cortex.
Key topics will include:
Pierre Pouget
- Using fUS to assess brain activity in non-human primates in a single trial, without averaging
- Possibilities when coupling fUS with electrophysiology and pharmacology
- How fUS imaging can be used to track short and long-term variations in brain activation
Serge Picaud
- Studying activation of neuronal circuits with either prosthetics or optogenetic activation
- Procedure to generate retinotopic maps in behaving non-human primates
- Demonstrating the lateral and spatial resolution of fUS by imaging ocular dominance columns
