Popis: Significance Nowadays, several techniques exist to study and better understand how the brain works (fMRI, EEG, electrophysiology, etc.). Each has its own advantages and disadvantages (spatiotemporal resolution, maximal recording depth, signal-to-noise ratio, etc.). In this article, we show that the new functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging technique is appropriate to record and map brain activity in awake primates on a scale previously unreachable. It allows distinguishing patterns similar to ocular dominance bands in the visual cortex through all layers of the cortex, which was impossible before with common techniques. This paper demonstrates the utility of fUS imaging for studying brain activity in awake primates and its interest to all neuroscientists.
Deep regions of the brain are not easily accessible to investigation at the mesoscale level in awake animals or humans. We have recently developed a functional ultrasound (fUS) technique that enables imaging hemodynamic responses to visual tasks. Using fUS imaging on two awake nonhuman primates performing a passive fixation task, we constructed retinotopic maps at depth in the visual cortex (V1, V2, and V3) in the calcarine and lunate sulci. The maps could be acquired in a single-hour session with relatively few presentations of the stimuli. The spatial resolution of the technology is illustrated by mapping patterns similar to ocular dominance (OD) columns within superficial and deep layers of the primary visual cortex. These acquisitions using fUS suggested that OD selectivity is mostly present in layer IV but with extensions into layers II/III and V. This imaging technology provides a new mesoscale approach to the mapping of brain activity at high spatiotemporal resolution in awake subjects within the whole depth of the cortex.
