Kilohertz two-photon fluorescence microscopy imaging of neural activity in vivo

Understanding information processing in the brain requires us to monitor neural activity at high spatiotemporal resolution. Using an ultrafast two-photon fluorescence microscope (2PFM) empowered by all-optical laser scanning, we imaged neural activity in vivo at up to 3,000 frames per second and sub...

Sumario:Understanding information processing in the brain requires us to monitor neural activity at high spatiotemporal resolution. Using an ultrafast two-photon fluorescence microscope (2PFM) empowered by all-optical laser scanning, we imaged neural activity in vivo at up to 3,000 frames per second and submicron spatial resolution. This ultrafast imaging method enabled monitoring of both supra- and sub-threshold electrical activity down to 345 μm below the brain surface in head-fixed awake mice.
