New Publication – Robotic navigation to subcortical neural tissue for intracellular electrophysiology in vivo

Abstract: In vivo studies of neurophysiology using the whole cell patch-clamp technique enable exquisite access to both intracellular dynamics and cytosol of cells in the living brain but are underrepresented in deep subcortical nuclei because of fouling of the sensitive electrode tip. We have developed an autonomous method to navigate electrodes … More New Publication – Robotic navigation to subcortical neural tissue for intracellular electrophysiology in vivo

New Publication – Genetically expressed voltage sensor ArcLight for imaging large scale cortical activity in the anesthetized and awake mouse

With the recent breakthrough in genetically expressed voltage indicators (GEVIs), there has been a tremendous demand to determine the capabilities of these sensors in vivo. Novel voltage sensitive fluorescent proteins allow for direct measurement of neuron membrane potential changes through changes in fluorescence. Here, we utilized ArcLight, a recently developed … More New Publication – Genetically expressed voltage sensor ArcLight for imaging large scale cortical activity in the anesthetized and awake mouse
