Two-photon sodium imaging in dendritic spines.
Neuronal activity causes substantial postsynaptic Na(+) transients. However, the physiological consequences of such Na(+) transients remain largely unknown. High-resolution Na(+) imaging is pivotal to study these questions, and, up to now, two-photon imaging with the fluorescent Na(+) indicator sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate (SBFI) has been the method of choice. When introduced into ind...
متن کاملImaging membrane potential in dendritic spines.
Dendritic spines mediate most excitatory inputs in the brain. Although it is clear that spines compartmentalize calcium, it is still unknown what role, if any, they play in integrating synaptic inputs. To investigate the electrical function of spines directly, we used second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging of membrane potential in pyramidal neurons from hippocampal cultures and neocortical br...
متن کاملPalette of fluorinated voltage-sensitive hemicyanine dyes.
Optical recording of membrane potential permits spatially resolved measurement of electrical activity in subcellular regions of single cells, which would be inaccessible to electrodes, and imaging of spatiotemporal patterns of action potential propagation in excitable tissues, such as the brain or heart. However, the available voltage-sensitive dyes (VSDs) are not always spectrally compatible w...
متن کاملNear infrared two-photon excitation cross-sections of voltage-sensitive dyes.
Microscopy based on voltage-sensitive dyes has proven effective for revealing spatio-temporal patterns of neuronal activity in vivo and in vitro. Two-photon microscopy using voltage-sensitive dyes offers the possibility of wide-field visualization of membrane potential on sub-cellular length scales, hundreds of microns below the tissue surface. Very little information is available, however, abo...
متن کاملConcepts in Imaging and Microscopy Imaging Membrane Potential With Voltage-Sensitive Dyes
Membrane potential can be measured optically using a variety of molecular probes. These measurements can be useful in studying function at the level of an individual cell, for determining how groups of neurons generate a behavior, and for studying the correlated behavior of populations of neurons. Examples of the three kinds of measurements are presented. The signals obtained from these measure...
