The technique has previously been validated in Intralipid phantoms, and applied to continuously and non-invasively monitor optical properties and blood flow index in the brains of head-fixed, anesthetized mice. A demonstration of robust iNIRS measurements in human tissues with motion would support the viability of iNIRS for clinical applications. Here, we perform non-contact iNIRS in human tissues. We show that phase drift caused by involuntary motion during acquisition significantly distorts the optical field autocorrelation, particularly at early TOFs. To solve this issue, we present a novel numerical phase drift correction method to isolate field dynamics due to just red blood cell motion within the sample. Upon correction, TOF-resolved autocorrelations exhibit exponential decay behavior, whether acquired from Intralipid, the human forearm, or the human forehead. We confirm the link between bulk motion artifacts and phase drift by simultaneous, co-registered iNIRS and Optical Coherence Tomography measurements. By applying conventional, time-resolved diffusion theory and diffusing wave spectroscopy theory, we quantify optical properties and time-of-flight-resolved dynamics in Intralipid, the human forearm, and the human brain. Finally, we explore strategies for increased photon collection through parallelization of iNIRS, to probe greater depths in the human brain. This work conclusively shows that diffuse optical measurements of field dynamics are possible, even in the presence of motion artifacts.","PeriodicalId":239188,"journal":{"name":"Neural Imaging and Sensing 2019","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121425931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results show that RCaMP1a transfection in primary motor cortex extends all over the cortical motor areas. The RCaMP1a and ChR2 reporter expression largely overlap, thus allowing the stimulation and readout from the same functional areas. Furthermore, we characterized the functional response by performing single pulse optogenetic stimulation and we observed that evoked calcium signals increase at increasing laser power. In order to study the cortical activation underlying a specific motor behavior, we performed optogenetic-stimulation of the Rostral Forelimb Area (RFA) with a train of lasers pulses. We observed that during 1s of 16 Hz train stimulus the animals suddenly start grasping with the contralateral forelimb. Cortical dynamics recorded during the optogenetically-triggered motor task show correlated activity between the RFA and the nearby motor areas. The all-optical system optimization and the possibility to link the neuronal population activity with the animal behavior would be a key point in understanding the network activity underlying a specific behavior.","PeriodicalId":239188,"journal":{"name":"Neural Imaging and Sensing 2019","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122249827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the progress of probes for optogenetic actuators and calcium indicators afford the probability for simultaneous optical manipulation and imaging of neuronal ensembles. Although with point-scanning imaging and localized optical stimulation, previous work had achieved all-optical interrogation of neural circuits in the local brain areas of mice and zebrafish larvae, no attempt was made to optical interrogate neuronal ensembles’ function across the whole-brain. Here, we combined the fast volumetric imaging technique, light-sheet microscopy which was an order of magnitude faster than the point-scanning method, with digital laser beam shaping device, digital micromirror device (DMD), to learn about neuronal activities across the whole brain of behaving larval zebrafish. Using the spectrally separated calcium indicator, GCaMP6f, and activity actuator, ChrimsonR, we can simultaneously image and manipulate neuronal ensembles with minimal spectral cross-talk. Besides, to monitor the behavior of zebrafish larvae, a high-speed camera was introduced into the system. To demonstrate the system’s function, arbitrarily selected neurons was stimulated during the whole-brain neuronal activities’ imaging, which effectively activated the synaptic connections and brain-wide downstream neural circuits and evoked stereotyped behaviors. These results demonstrate the system’s ability in studying the function of brain-wide neuronal ensembles in small animals.","PeriodicalId":239188,"journal":{"name":"Neural Imaging and Sensing 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127007314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
