Source: Wang, Z., et al. Transpupillary Two-Photon In Vivo Imaging of the Mouse Retina. J. Vis. Exp. (2021).This video demonstrates a technique for in vivo retinal imaging using two-photon microscopy. Anesthetized mice are prepared for imaging by securing their heads, Applying eye lubricant, and placing a coverslip over the eye. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) expressing fluorescent proteins are first visualized using epifluorescence for alignment. Finally, two-photon imaging is...

Immunostaining for DNA Modifications: Computational Analysis of Confocal Images

10.2K
Newly discovered oxidized forms of 5-methylcytosine (oxi-mCs), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) may represent distinct DNA modifications with unique functional roles. Here a semi-quantitative workflow for visualization of oxi-mCs' spatial distribution, signal intensity profiling and colocalization is described.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Computer Vision

Background:

  • Restoring vision with retinal prostheses (RP) requires translating visual scenes into neural signals.
  • Current RP systems face challenges in accurately mimicking retinal neural circuit computations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel computer vision (CV) image preprocessing method for RP.
  • To simulate retinal ganglion cell (RGC) responses using this CV method and a Generalized Integrate & Fire (GIF) neuron model.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a CV image preprocessing technique inspired by RGC functions.
  • Utilized "Virtual Retina" simulation software for training and testing.
  • Inputted sequences of natural images to evaluate model performance.

Main Results:

  • Models employing the proposed CV preprocessing outperformed those using raw image intensity.
  • Achieved a lower interspike-interval distance (0.17 vs. 0.27), indicating more accurate RGC response prediction.
  • Validated the hypothesis that raw image intensity is suboptimal for predicting RGC responses.

Conclusions:

  • The developed CV preprocessing method enhances the accuracy of retinal response simulation for RP.
  • This approach offers a promising direction for improving future retinal prosthesis interventions.
  • Mimicking RGC function in image processing is crucial for effective vision restoration technology.
