Many techniques to record and manipulate neuronal activity across large portions of the vertebrate brain, such as widefield and two-photon calcium imaging, electrophysiology, and optogenetics, are now available. However, few effective approaches enable both optical and mechanical access to the brain. In this work, we offer an in-depth guide for synthesizing, implanting, and using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) windows as skull replacements for chronic optical neuronal imaging. Furthermore, we provide instructions to perform viral injections and multi-site silicon probe implantation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
