Protocol for synthesizing, implanting, and using polydimethylsiloxane as skull replacement in mice for imaging, electrophysiology, and optogenetics
Summary: Many techniques to record and manipulate neuronal activity across large portions of the vertebrate brain are now available. However, few effective approaches enable both optical and mechanical access to the brain. Here, we present a protocol for synthesizing, implanting, and using polydimet...
