Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Neuropil Ca2+ dynamics has been imaged using in in vivo two-photon microscopy from the visual cortex of the G7NG817 transgenic mouse, in which astrocytes and a subpopulation of neurons express the Ca2+ sensor G-CAMP7. G7NG817 mice has been crossed with an Alzheimer’s disease model mouse line, from which similar neuropil imaging has been performed. The data were analyzed with a non-negative matrix factorization-assisted algorithm that automatically extracted individual Ca2+ active regions. Post-hoc examination of these regions showed that some e regions contained fast transients and some other regions exhibited slow transients. These are postulated to correspond to synaptopil and gliopil, respectively.
