Planar Implantable Sensor for In Vivo Measurement of Cellular Oxygen Metabolism in Brain Tissue

摘要

BackgroundBrain imaging methods are continually improving. Imaging of the cerebral cortex is widely used in both animal experiments and charting human brain function in health and disease. Among the animal models, the rodent cerebral cortex has been widely used because of patterned neural representation of the whiskers on the snout and relative ease of activating cortical tissue with whisker stimulation.
