Guangzhou University 2 articles published in JoVE Neuroscience Evaluation of Hemisphere Lateralization with Bilateral Local Field Potential Recording in Secondary Motor Cortex of Mice Yunan Chen1,2, Ming Li3, Ying Zheng3, Li Yang1 1School of Life Sciences, Guangzhou University, 2Institute for Brain Research and Rehabilitation, South China Normal University, 3School of Life Sciences, South China Normal University We present in vivo electrophysiological recording of the local field potential (LFP) in bilateral secondary motor cortex (M2) of mice, which can be applied to evaluate hemisphere lateralization. The study revealed altered levels of synchronization between the left and right M2 in APP/PS1 mice compared to WT controls.
