Targeted micro-fiber arrays for measuring and manipulating localized multi-scale neural dynamics over large, deep brain volumes during behavior

Mai-Anh T. Vu, E. Brown, Michelle J. Wen, Christian A. Noggle, Zicheng Zhang, Kevin J. Monk, Safa Bouabid, Lydia Mroz, Benjamin M. Graham, Yizhou Zhuo, Yulong Li, Timothy M. Otchy, Lin Tian, Ian G. Davison, David A. Boas, Mark W. Howe

This paper introduces a micro-fiber array system for measuring and manipulating neural dynamics in large brain volumes during behavior, revealing spatiotemporal patterns of dopamine release and enabling precise optogenetic control.
