Investigating the Limits of Neurovascular Coupling

Neuron. 2016 Sep 7;91(5):954-956. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2016.08.026.

Abstract

O'Herron et al. (2016) perform two-photon imaging of vascular and neural responses in cat and rodent primary visual cortex to investigate the limits of neurovascular coupling. Their results suggest important constraints on making inferences about neuronal responses from hemodynamic activity.
