A new development in multiphoton microscopy, members of the Peter Saggau laboratory at Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston have developed the first multiphoton
microscope that can capture 3-D images of a calcium wave in a single
neuron. In experiments detailed in the June 2008 issue of Nature Neuroscience, the researchers performed structural and functional imaging of neurons in rat brain slices, rapidly scanning many user-selected sites on dendrites. Read more here . |
