Journal ArticleDOI

Cascade models of synaptically stored memories.

TL;DR: It is suggested that memory storage requires synapses with multiple states exhibiting dynamics over a wide range of timescales, and the model constructed here combines high levels of memory storage with long retention times and significantly outperforms alternative models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlations of neuronal and microvascular densities in murine cortex revealed by direct counting and colocalization of nuclei and vessels.

TL;DR: In this article, the locations of all neuronal and non-neuronal nuclei and the centerlines and diameters of all blood vessels within thick slabs of neocortex from mice were mapped using histological, imaging, and analysis tools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-Photon Microscopy as a Tool to Study Blood Flow and Neurovascular Coupling in the Rodent Brain

TL;DR: The surgical procedures required to generate cranial windows for optical access to the cortex of both rats and mice and the use of two-photon microscopy to accurately measure blood flow in individual cortical vessels concurrent with local cellular activity are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic optical access through a polished and reinforced thinned skull

TL;DR: This work presents a method to form an optical window in the mouse skull that spans millimeters and is stable for months without causing brain inflammation, which enabled them to repeatedly image blood flow in cortical capillaries of awake mice and determine long-range correlations in speed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluctuating and sensory-induced vasodynamics in rodent cortex extend arteriole capacity

TL;DR: It is concluded that stimulation that occurs on the time scale of natural stimuli leads to a net increase in the reservoir of arteriole blood, and a “bagpipe” model that highlights arterioles dilation should augment the current “balloon’ model of venous distension in the interpretation of fMRI images.
