Whole brain dynamics during optogenetic self-stimulation of the medial prefrontal cortex in mice

Cover et al. develop a method that permits functional MRI of brain dynamics while mice are cued to perform an operant task: licking a spout to receive optogenetic stimulation to the medial prefrontal cortex. This method presents noninvasive whole brain readout for adaptive behavior of mice in respon...
