Abstract
In recent years, advanced optical methods combined with genetically encoded indicators has gradually become a helpful solution for monitoring neural activities in behaving animals. Among various optical methods, fiber-based ones have become increasingly versatile as they have declined in size but gained in functionality. We developed a nonlinear optical fiber-based endoscope with single-cell resolution, which enables investigating neural activities within single nucleus in freely behaving mice. To further understand how neural activities are coordinated in the complex circuits over different brain regions, we implemented two multichannel fiber photometry systems for multi-site population neural activity recording in head-restrained mice.
