Smart Dura: A Functional Large-scale, High-Density Optoelectric Dura for Non-Human Primates
Project Summary Optogenetics is a powerful tool for relating brain function to behavior because it enables cell- type specific manipulation of neurons with millisecond temporal precision and artifact-free neural recordings. Such capabilities are particularly needed in studies using non-human primates (NHPs), where sophisticated behavioral techniques are commonly employed but neurophysiological tools have lagged those used in other model species. While the use of optogenetics in NHPs has grown rapidly in recent years, the full power of the technique requires the ability to perform large-scale, bi-directional study of neural circuits. Systems to achieve this have become widely used in other…
