Functional Architecture of the Inferior Colliculus Revealed with Voltage-Sensitive Dyes
We used optical imaging with voltage-sensitive dyes to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics of synaptically evoked activity in brain slices of the inferior colliculus (IC). Responses in transverse slices which preserve cross-frequency connections and in modified sagittal slices that preserve connections within frequency laminae were evoked by activating the lateral lemniscal tract. Comparin...
متن کاملFunctional Microarchitecture of the Mouse Dorsal Inferior Colliculus Revealed through In Vivo Two-Photon Calcium Imaging.
UNLABELLED The inferior colliculus (IC) is an obligatory relay for ascending auditory inputs from the brainstem and receives descending input from the auditory cortex. The IC comprises a central nucleus (CNIC), surrounded by several shell regions, but the internal organization of this midbrain nucleus remains incompletely understood. We used two-photon calcium imaging to study the functional mi...
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 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 کاملEnzyme-induced staining of biomembranes with voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes.
We consider the physicochemical basis for enzyme-induced staining of cell membranes by fluorescent voltage-sensitive dyes, a method that may lead to selective labeling of genetically encoded nerve cells in brain for studies of neuronal signal processing. The approach relies on the induction of membrane binding by enzymatic conversion of a water-soluble precursor dye. We synthesized an amphiphil...
