high throughput optical mapping
of prefrontal cortex connectivity

past experierence

behavioral states

contex

Decesions

very connected region

fear

amygciala

extintion of fear

right beside each other

found a way to change the contribution of amygdala cells in the pfc

changed how a memory was formed

still had context fear but not out of context fear

study where a tone was paired to a foot shock

want to look at the local circut to fully understand

techniques to do this are very low throughput

can he develop a high throughput method

optogentics

retrograde staning

2 photon imaging

z stack

specific targeing

localise it on the soma

spirialing on the soma

greater photocurrent

GCamP

same wavelenght

can detect cell activity

works

confirms some information about cortical connectivity

however, in amgdella most connections are come from layer one

connection probability low

Can look at strength of connection

strongest connections are coming from cells more supperficially
