Is it possible to define a function inside a tables constructor?

For instance:

t = {
    func1 = function(self, test)
        DoStuff()
    end

yes

   function func2(self, test)
        DoStuff()
    end
}

no


And if I can define a function this way, can I invoke them as:
t:func1("1234")
t:func2("1234")

yes

or would I have to do
t.func1(t, "1234")
t.func2(t, "1234")


this also works.
