Abstract
Recent developments in optogenetics allow for quick and minimally invasive methods of mapping functional brain circuits in animal models. DeepLabCut (DLC), a toolbox for markerless pose estimation, offers the ability to track features in 3-dimensions. We demonstrate a hybrid method utilizing DLC and light-based, optogenetic motor mapping to concurrently localize motor representations of multiple limbs in mice. Our results suggest that behaviorally-relevant, motor movements involving multiple limbs reside in overlapping cortical representations of each limb. Applications of this technique include characterizing recovery of finer, articulated movements of affected limbs after stroke, or mapping brain network activity during naturalistic behavior.
