Lecture 5: Optical Imaging of Brains

Optical imaging offers a look inside the working brain. In this lecture R. Clay Reid takes a look at orientation and ocular dominance columns in the visual cortex, and shows how they can be viewed with calcium imaging. This full-length, undergraduate-level lecture is the fifth of a 12-part series entitled Coding & Vision 101, produced by the Allen Institute for Brain Science as an educational resource for the community.
