Imaging activity of neuronal populations with new long-wavelength voltage-sensitive dyes.
We have assessed the utility of five new long-wavelength fluorescent voltage-sensitive dyes (VSD) for imaging the activity of populations of neurons in mouse brain slices. Although all the five were capable of detecting activity resulting from activation of the Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapse, they differed significantly in their properties, most notably in the signal-to-noise ra...
متن کاملComparison of Two Voltage-Sensitive Dyes and Their Suitability for Long-Term Imaging of Neuronal Activity
One of the key approaches for studying neural network function is the simultaneous measurement of the activity of many neurons. Voltage-sensitive dyes (VSDs) simultaneously report the membrane potential of multiple neurons, but often have pharmacological and phototoxic effects on neuronal cells. Yet, to study the homeostatic processes that regulate neural network function long-term recordings o...
متن کاملNeuronal avalanches in spontaneous activity in vivo.
Many complex systems give rise to events that are clustered in space and time, thereby establishing a correlation structure that is governed by power law statistics. In the cortex, such clusters of activity, called "neuronal avalanches," were recently found in local field potentials (LFPs) of spontaneous activity in acute cortex slices, slice cultures, the developing cortex of the anesthetized ...
متن کاملSuperresolution imaging with fluorescent dyes
With the combination of climate change and human encroachment on the territory of endangered species, information about what and where animals eat and how this is changing over time can help guide conservation efforts. Thure Cerling et al. compiled a 6-year record of nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen in the diet of a family of 4 Kenyan elephants by analyzing the isotopic content of the ele...
متن کاملTopic Introduction Imaging Neuronal Activity with Genetically Encoded Calcium Indicators
Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs), which are based on chimeric fluorescent proteins, can be used to monitor calcium transients in living cells and organisms. Because they are encoded by DNA, GECIs can be delivered to the intact brain noninvasively and targeted to defined populations of neurons and specific subcellular compartments for long-term, repeated measurements in vivo. GECIs...
