Design and Use of Organic Voltage Sensitive Dyes.
نویسنده
چکیده
The chemistry and the physics of voltage sensitive dyes (VSDs) should be understood and appreciated as a prerequisite for their optimal application to problems in neuroscience cardiology. This chapter provides a basic understanding of the properties of the large variety of available organic VSDs. The mechanisms by which the dyes respond to voltage guides the best set up of the optics for recording or imaging electrophysiological activity. The physical and chemical properties of the dyes can be tuned to optimize delivery to and staining of the cells in different experimental preparations. The aim of this chapter is to arm the experimentalists who use the dyes with enough information and data to be able to intelligently choose the best dye for their specific requirements.

متن کاملEnhanced aqueous solubility of long wavelength voltage-sensitive dyes by covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol.
Long wavelength voltage-sensitive dyes (VSDs) called Pittsburgh (PGH) dyes were recently synthesized by coupling various heterocyclic groups to a styryl-thiophene intermediate forming extended, partially rigid chromophores. Unlike most styryl VSDs, dyes with a sulfonic acid anchor directly attached to the chromophore showed no solvatochromic absorption shifts. The limited water solubility of ma...
متن کاملUse of Voltage - Sensitive Dyes and Optical
-Understanding the spatio-temporal features of the information processing occurring in any complex neural structure requires the monitoring and analysis of the activity in populations of neurons. Electrophysiological and other mapping techniques have provided important insights into the function of neural circuits and neural populations in many systems. However, there remain limitations with th...
متن کاملOptimized Fuzzy Controller Design in Unbalanced Voltage Drop Mode for Dynamic Voltage Restorer
The loss of balanced voltages involves a voltage drop due to symmetric three-phase errors, or the initiation of high-power three-phase loads or symmetric three-phase switches. While these events in an unbalanced way lead to asymmetric voltage drops. Voltage drops can cause asymmetric load on the power grid, the occurrence of volatility, and even network power outage. One of the most common ways...
متن کاملWide-field and two-photon imaging of brain activity with voltage- and calcium-sensitive dyes.
This review presents three examples of using voltage- or calcium-sensitive dyes to image the activity of the brain. Our aim is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method with particular reference to its application to the study of the brainstem. Two of the examples use wide-field (one-photon) imaging; the third uses two-photon scanning microscopy. Because the measurements have l...
