Mesoscopic cortical network reorganization during recovery of optic nerve injury in GCaMP6s mice

Abstract As the residual vision following a traumatic optic nerve injury can spontaneously recover over time, we explored the spontaneous plasticity of cortical networks during the early post-optic nerve crush (ONC) phase. Using in vivo wide-field calcium imaging on awake Thy1-GCaMP6s mice, we chara...
