Imaging inhibitory synaptic potentials using voltage sensitive dyes.
Studies of the spatio-temporal distribution of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) in a neuron have been limited by the spatial information that can be obtained by electrode recordings. We describe a method that overcomes these limitations by imaging IPSPs with voltage-sensitive dyes. CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons from brain slices were loaded with the voltage-sensitive dye JPW-1114 ...
متن کاملTwo-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 کاملDendritic spines linearize the summation of excitatory potentials.
In mammalian cortex, most excitatory inputs occur on dendritic spines, avoiding dendritic shafts. Although spines biochemically isolate inputs, nonspiny neurons can also implement biochemical compartmentalization; so, it is possible that spines have an additional function. We have recently shown that the spine neck can filter membrane potentials going into and out of the spine. To investigate t...
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...
متن کاملElectrical behaviour of dendritic spines as revealed by voltage imaging
Thousands of dendritic spines on individual neurons process information and mediate plasticity by generating electrical input signals using a sophisticated assembly of transmitter receptors and voltage-sensitive ion channel molecules. Our understanding, however, of the electrical behaviour of spines is limited because it has not been possible to record input signals from these structures with a...
