abstract = {Measurements of neuronal activity across brain areas are
important for understanding the neural correlates of
cognitive and motor processes such as attention,
decision-making and action selection. However, techniques
that allow cellular resolution measurements are expensive
and require a high degree of technical expertise, which
limits their broad use. Wide-field imaging of genetically
encoded indicators is a high-throughput, cost-effective and
flexible approach to measure activity of specific cell
populations with high temporal resolution and a cortex-wide
field of view. Here we outline our protocol for assembling a
wide-field macroscope setup, performing surgery to prepare
the intact skull and imaging neural activity chronically in
behaving, transgenic mice. Further, we highlight a
processing pipeline that leverages novel, cloud-based
methods to analyze large-scale imaging datasets. The
protocol targets laboratories that are seeking to build
macroscopes, optimize surgical procedures for long-term
chronic imaging and/or analyze cortex-wide neuronal
recordings. The entire protocol, including steps for
assembly and calibration of the macroscope, surgical
preparation, imaging and data analysis, requires a total of
8 h. It is designed to be accessible to laboratories with
limited expertise in imaging methods or interest in
high-throughput imaging during behavior.},
