Opto-electrical bimodal recording of neural activity in awake head-restrained mice by Cobar, Luis Fernando, Kashef, Alireza, Bose, Krishnashish, Tashiro, Ayumu

“…Although opto-electrical bimodal recording is beneficial by enabling us to exploit the strength of both approaches, it has not been widely used. In this study, we devised three methods of bimodal recording from a deep brain structure in awake head-fixed mice by chronically implanting a gradient-index (GRIN) lens and electrodes. …”
