In vivo microendoscopy of the hippocampus.

چکیده
Conventional intravital microscopy has generally been limited to superficial brain areas such as the olfactory bulb, the neocortex, or the cerebellar cortex. In vivo optical microendoscopy uses gradient refractive index (GRIN) microlenses that can be inserted into tissue to image cells in deeper areas. This protocol describes in vivo microendoscopy of the mouse hippocampus. The general methodology can be applied to many deep brain regions and other areas of the body.

In vivo mammalian brain imaging using one- and two-photon fluorescence microendoscopy.
One of the major limitations in the current set of techniques available to neuroscientists is a dearth of methods for imaging individual cells deep within the brains of live animals. To overcome this limitation, we developed two forms of minimally invasive fluorescence microendoscopy and tested their abilities to image cells in vivo. Both one- and two-photon fluorescence microendoscopy are base...
متن کاملDifferential structured illumination microendoscopy for in vivo imaging of molecular contrast agents.
Fiber optic microendoscopy has shown promise for visualization of molecular contrast agents used to study disease in vivo. However, fiber optic microendoscopes have limited optical sectioning capability, and image contrast is limited by out-of-focus light generated in highly scattering tissue. Optical sectioning techniques have been used in microendoscopes to remove out-of-focus light but reduc...
متن کاملPentylenetetrazol-kindling induced synaptic plasticity in the CA1 region of rat hippocampus
The impact of pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling on the effectiveness of theta pattern primed-bursts (PBs) for the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSP) and population spikes (PS) were investigated in hippocampal CA1 of pentylenetetrazol-kindled rats in vivo. The results showed that shortly after kindling, control animals had normal LTP of...
متن کاملNeuroprotective role of curcumin on the hippocampus against the structural and serological alterations of streptozotocin-induced diabetes in sprague dawely rats
Objective(s): Diabetes mellitus causes impaired memory and cognitive functions. The hippocampus plays a key role in memory and learning. Curcumin attenuates diabetic nephropathy in vivo. Curcumin has shown a neurogenic effect and cognition-enhancing potential in aged rats. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible protective role of curcumin on the histological and serologicalchanges of...
متن کاملIn vivo cytological observation of liver and spleen by using high-resolution microendoscopy system under endoscopic ultrasound guidance: A preliminary study using a swine model
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is useful to obtain specimens from lesions underlying deep parts of the liver and spleen. However, the development of novel ancillary techniques must be explored to reduce the number of needle passes and potential adverse effects during this procedure. We conducted an animal study using a swine to demonstrate technical feasibility of...
