Simultaneous Optical Coherence Tomography and Electrophysiology Measurements to Investigate Neurovascular Coupling in Rats

Simultaneous measurements with microelectrodes and frequency domain optical coherence tomography were done on rats to investigate neurovascular coupling. Neuronal and vascular responses to parametric forepaw stimulation were found to be in agreement under different anesthetics.
