Strategies for mapping synaptic inputs on dendrites in vivo by combining two-photon microscopy, sharp intracellular recording, and pharmacology
Uncovering the functional properties of individual synaptic inputs on single neurons is critical for understanding the computational role of synapses and dendrites. Previous studies combined whole-cell patch recording to load neurons with a fluorescent calcium indicator and two-photon imaging to map subcellular changes in fluorescence upon sensory stimulation. By hyperpolarizing the neuron belo...
متن کاملCombining pharmacology and whole-cell patch recording from CNS neurons, in vivo.
Whole-cell patch neurophysiology and pharmacological manipulations have provided unprecedented insight into the functions of central neurons, but their combined use has been largely restricted to in vitro preparations. We describe a method for performing whole-cell patch recording and focal application of pharmacological agents in vivo. A key feature of this technique involves iontophoresis of ...
متن کاملImaging brain vasculature with BOLD microscopy: MR detection limits determined by in vivo two-photon microscopy.
Rat brain vasculature was imaged at 9.4T with blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) microscopy. Data were acquired without exogenous contrast agent in <35 min using 3D gradient-echo imaging with 78-microm isotropic resolution. Detailed vascular patterns including intracortical veins and some branches were observed in simple magnitude-contrast data acquired at an experimentally optimized echo...
متن کاملImaging intracellular signaling using two-photon fluorescent lifetime imaging microscopy.
The recent development of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) sensors and FRET imaging techniques permits visualization of the dynamics of intracellular signaling events with high spatiotemporal resolution. In particular, fluorescence lifetime imaging in combination with two-photon laser-scanning microscopy (two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy [2pFLIM]) is a powerful tool t...
متن کاملHyperspectral in-vivo two-photon microscopy of intrinsic fluorophores
In-vivo two-photon imaging of intrinsic fluorescence allows metabolic function to be evaluated on a cellular level. A method of validating, identifying and separating the fluorophores present in an in-vivo two-photon image is described. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (170.0170) Medical optics and biotechnology; (110.4234) Multispectral and hyperspectral imaging; (170.2655) Functio...
