Three Goals:

1) Describe optical imaging methodology and signal etiology a) single-wavelength intrinsic signal imaging b) spectroscopic intrinsic signal imaging 2) Review examples of application in clinical neuroscience a) Investigation of neuro-vascular-metabolic coupling b) Characterization of other brain mapping signals 3) Validate the use of optical imaging as an mapping tool

Focus on:

Human applications, except where animal investigations paved the path for human translational studies

Using OIS to characterize

neuro-vascular-metabolic coupling

Why OIS?

• Offers both high SPATIAL and TEMPORAL resolution relative to other neuroimaging

modalities

• Intrinsic contrast

• Multiwavelength imaging allows investigation of several physiological processes within the

same experiment

Page 10: Optical imaging for the translational investigatorb) Characterization of other brain mapping signals 3) Validate the use of optical imaging as an mapping tool Focus on: Human applications,

Intrinsic Signal Imaging

• Advantages

– No extrinsic dye – Delivery

– Toxicity

– Human application

– Only limited by imaging optics AND computer processing speed

• Single Wavelength

• Multiwavelength

• Spectroscopic

Page 11: Optical imaging for the translational investigatorb) Characterization of other brain mapping signals 3) Validate the use of optical imaging as an mapping tool Focus on: Human applications,

• small signals • trial averaging • stim/cntrl

Page 12: Optical imaging for the translational investigatorb) Characterization of other brain mapping signals 3) Validate the use of optical imaging as an mapping tool Focus on: Human applications,

ratio (t) = I (t) / I base

ratio (t) = ratio (t) – ratio (-0.25)

I base = { I (-1.0) + I (-0.75) + I (-0.5) + I (-0.25) } / 4

• The magnitude of optical intrinsic signals is calculated as the fractional change in reflected light intensity relative to the pre-stimulus baseline. • Pixel-by-pixel division and subtraction

Visual Cortex Mapping – Differential Imaging

Subtract two stimulus conditions that activate “distinct neuronal populations” – subtract out “non-specific responses”

Shortcomings: (1) Artifacts may be stimulus specific

(2) Artifacts may not be synchronized with stimulation

(3) Identifying orthogonal activations is non-trivial

Conclusions and Implications

• BOLD and positive 610 nm OIS are both spatially and temporally correlated

• Signal disparities may be related to differences in sensitivities and other signals, like light scattering, contributing to OIS

SUMMARY

• Even with limitations (invasiveness, slow hemodynamic signal) optical imaging in animals and humans is a valuable research tool. – Anatomical localization

– Functional characterization (activity)

– Metabolic measurement (oximetry, flowmetry, mitochondrial redox activity)

• Crucial limitations are being overcome – High speed imaging

– Tomographic imaging
