title = "Barrel Cortex as a Model System for Understanding the Molecular, Structural, and Functional Basis of Cortical Plasticity",
abstract = "In this chapter we cover the methodology for molecular, synaptic, cellular, and systems level studies of plasticity in the barrel cortex. The text is organized into four main sections. Section 1 covers methods of inducing plasticity in the barrel cortex as well as how to stimulate the whiskers in a standard way. Section 2 covers extracellular recording for systems level measures of plasticity; section 3 describes the methodology of intracellular recording in vivo for cellular level measures of plasticity, and finally, section 4 covers imaging methods used in understanding the structural plasticity of the synapse and its relationship to functional plasticity.",
