Concepts in Imaging and Microscopy Imaging Membrane Potential With Voltage-Sensitive Dyes
Membrane potential can be measured optically using a variety of molecular probes. These measurements can be useful in studying function at the level of an individual cell, for determining how groups of neurons generate a behavior, and for studying the correlated behavior of populations of neurons. Examples of the three kinds of measurements are presented. The signals obtained from these measure...
متن کاملMapping membrane potential transients in crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) optic lobe neuropils with voltage-sensitive dyes.
Voltage-sensitive dyes NK 2761 and RH 155 were employed (in conjunction with a 12 x 12 photodiode array) to study membrane potential transients in optic lobe neuropils in the eye stalk of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii. By this means we investigated a pathway linking deutocerebral projection neurons, via hemiellipsoid body local interneurons, to an unidentified target (most likely neurons pro...
متن کاملAnalysis of Antimicrobial-Triggered Membrane Depolarization Using Voltage Sensitive Dyes
The bacterial cytoplasmic membrane is a major inhibitory target for antimicrobial compounds. Commonly, although not exclusively, these compounds unfold their antimicrobial activity by disrupting the essential barrier function of the cell membrane. As a consequence, membrane permeability assays are central for mode of action studies analysing membrane-targeting antimicrobial compounds. The most ...
متن کاملImaging 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 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...
