Research Abstract |
This research project aimed to measure dynamics of protein molecules rapidly moving in the cytosol of neuronal dendrites at multiple points simultaneously by means of a newly developed two-photon microscope. I succeeded in recording at multiple points at more than 10 kHz of time resolution from cytosol of primary cultured neurons derived from mouse, in which GFP or GFP-fused CamKII proteins were expressed, and in analyzing by FCS. I was also successful in recording action potentials from multiple cultured neurons, which enabled to analyze synaptic connections between neuron pairs and also direction of synaptic connections.
