The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The functional organization of the barrel cortex. (2007, background): “Action potential activity correlates closely with the extent of the intrinsic signal (Polley et al., 1999, 2004), whereas subthreshold membrane potential changes dominate the VSD signal.”
VSDI: a new era in functional imaging of cortical dynamics (2004, background): “into the development of neocortical maps, and by Frostig and colleague”
Spatiotemporal dynamics of cortical sensorimotor integration in behaving mice. (2007, methodology): “The location of the C2 barrel column was identified by intrinsic optical imaging (Grinvald et al., 1986; Polley et al., 2004) following previously described procedures (Ferezou et al., 2006; Crochet and Petersen, 2006).”
What is it like to be a rat? Rat sensory perception and its implications for experimental design and rat welfare (2008, background): “For example, the visual cortices of rats reared in darkness are permanently underdeveloped (Fagiolini et al., 1994), while sensory deprivation only temporarily limits olfactory bulb (Cummings et al., 1997) and barrel cortex development (Polley et al., 2004; but see Rema et al., 2003).”
