Today anesthetics are considered as routine as a trip to the dentist.

Davy, young and ambitious, set out to rigorously test the gas’s effect, inhaling nitrous oxide daily for several months. Under slightly less rigorous conditions, Davy shared the gas with a distinguished group of friends including Samuel Taylor Coleridge, James Watt, and Robert Southey--who wrote in a letter that “the atmosphere of the highest of all possible heavens must be compose...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Patch‐Clamp in Awake Mice? Membrane potential dynamics resulting from the integration of thousands of synaptic inputs and intrinsic membrane properties underlie the generation of action potential in neurons of the central nervous system. The investigation of membrane potential dynamics is, therefore, of major importance to the understanding of brain function. This level of neuronal activity can only be assessed by measuring differences of potential between the inside and the outside of a neuron, i.e., intracellular recording. In mammals, this approach has been so far mainly restricted to reduced preparations in vitro...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) is the optical interrogation of transmembrane voltage using an exogenous membrane-bound probe. When bulk-applied to intact tissue, voltage-sensitive dyes allow the measurement at high temporal and spatial resolution of subthreshold population membrane potential dynamics in regions of interest of arbitrary size and shape. This is particularly useful in vivo for mapping of input patterns to surface brain structures in order to study neuronal integration at the population level. This chapter provides an introduction to the use of VSDI in vivo. The first half consists of a discussion of the...

Two-photon microscopy has become an invaluable tool for visualizing the activity of neuronal populations at cellular resolution in vivo. Imaging typically requires restraining the head of the animal underneath the objective of a dedicated optical setup and experiments are therefore often performed under anesthesia. Here, we describe a method that allows imaging in awake mice with minimal motion artifacts and without the need for extensive training of the animal. We detail the necessary surgical procedures to chronically implant a small, lightweight headplate and to create a clear window for imaging. The design of a simple ...
