Advances in Understanding Cortical Function Through Combined Voltage-Sensitive Dye Imaging, Whole-Cell Recordings, and Analysis of Cellular Morphology
نویسنده
چکیده
Voltage-sensitive dyes can be used to image cortical network function with millisecond temporal resolution and with a horizontal spatial resolution of approximately 50μm. This imaging technique can be combined with whole-cell patch-clamp CARL C. H.

High precision and fast functional mapping of cortical circuitry through a novel combination of voltage sensitive dye imaging and laser scanning photostimulation.
The development of modern neuroscience tools is critical for deciphering brain circuit organization and function. An important aspect for technical development is to enhance each technique's advantages and compensate for limitations. We developed a high-precision and fast functional mapping technique in brain slices that incorporates the spatial precision of activation that can be achieved by l...

متن کاملProbing the function of neuronal populations: combining micromirror-based optogenetic photostimulation with voltage-sensitive dye imaging.
Recent advances in our understanding of brain function have come from using light to either control or image neuronal activity. Here we describe an approach that combines both techniques: a micromirror array is used to photostimulate populations of presynaptic neurons expressing channelrhodopsin-2, while a red-shifted voltage-sensitive dye allows optical detection of resulting postsynaptic acti...
متن کاملThe cerebellar Golgi cell and spatiotemporal organization of granular layer activity
The cerebellar granular layer has been suggested to perform a complex spatiotemporal reconfiguration of incoming mossy fiber signals. Central to this role is the inhibitory action exerted by Golgi cells over granule cells: Golgi cells inhibit granule cells through both feedforward and feedback inhibitory loops and generate a broad lateral inhibition that extends beyond the afferent synaptic fie...
متن کاملComparative performance of a genetically-encoded voltage indicator and a blue voltage sensitive dye for large scale cortical voltage imaging
Traditional small molecule voltage sensitive dye indicators have been a powerful tool for monitoring large scale dynamics of neuronal activities but have several limitations including the lack of cell class specific targeting, invasiveness and difficulties in conducting longitudinal studies. Recent advances in the development of genetically-encoded voltage indicators have successfully overcome ...
