Wide-field calcium imaging of cortex-wide activity in awake, head-fixed mice

Summary: Characterizing cortex-wide neural activity is essential for understanding large-scale interactions among distributed cortical regions. Here, we describe a protocol using wide-field calcium imaging to monitor the cortex-wide activity in awake, head-fixed mice. This approach provides sufficie...

The use of genetically encoded calcium indicators allows longitudinal imaging over months and can achieve cell-type specificity.
