Automated imaging of neuronal activity in freely behaving Caenorhabditis elegans.
In order to understand how neuronal circuits control locomotory patterns it is necessary to record neuronal activity of freely behaving animals. Here, using a new automated system for simultaneous recording of behavior and neuronal activity in freely moving Caenorhabditis elegans on standard agar plates, we show that spontaneous reversals from forward to backward locomotion reflect precisely th...
متن کاملHigh-throughput imaging of neuronal activity in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Neuronal responses to sensory inputs can vary based on genotype, development, experience, or stochastic factors. Existing neuronal recording techniques examine a single animal at a time, limiting understanding of the variability and range of potential responses. To scale up neuronal recordings, we here describe a system for simultaneous wide-field imaging of neuronal calcium activity from at le...
متن کاملPan-neuronal imaging in roaming Caenorhabditis elegans.
We present an imaging system for pan-neuronal recording in crawling Caenorhabditis elegans. A spinning disk confocal microscope, modified for automated tracking of the C. elegans head ganglia, simultaneously records the activity and position of ∼80 neurons that coexpress cytoplasmic calcium indicator GCaMP6s and nuclear localized red fluorescent protein at 10 volumes per second. We developed a ...
متن کاملVoltage-gated calcium channels direct neuronal migration in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Calcium signaling is known to be important for regulating the guidance of migrating neurons, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are not well understood. We have found that two different voltage-gated calcium channels are important for the accurate guidance of postembryonic neuronal migrations in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In mutants carrying loss-of-function alleles ...
متن کاملRatiometric Calcium Imaging of Individual Neurons in Behaving Caenorhabditis Elegans.
It has become increasingly clear that neural circuit activity in behaving animals differs substantially from that seen in anesthetized or immobilized animals. Highly sensitive, genetically encoded fluorescent reporters of Ca2+ have revolutionized the recording of cell and synaptic activity using non-invasive optical approaches in behaving animals. When combined with genetic and optogenetic tech...
