Real-Time In Vitro Imaging of Axonal Branching in Mouse Cortical Neurons

Source: Winkle, C. C., et al. Utilizing Combined Methodologies to Define the Role of Plasma Membrane Delivery During Axon Branching and Neuronal Morphogenesis. J. Vis. Exp. (2016)This video demonstrates a live-imaging technique using differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy to observe real-time axonal branching in cortical neurons. Time-lapse videos capture the effects of netrin-1 treatment, a signaling molecule that induces localized exocytosis and cytoskeletal rearrangements in...

Measuring Mast Cell Exocytosis via Neuropeptide Y Monomeric Red Fluorescent Protein Release

This video demonstrates mast cell exocytosis induced by an activating reagent that includes a calcium ionophore, initiating the release of secretory granules containing the fluorescent reporter protein NPY-mRFP. Subsequently, we quantitatively assess the exocytosis by measuring the released NPY-mRFP using a fluorescence plate...

An Optogenetic Approach for Assessing Formation of Neuronal Connections in a Co-culture System

A protocol to generate a co-culture system consisting of neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), primary cortical neurons and astrocytes is described. This co-culture system allows detection of the formation of synaptic contacts and circuits between new, iPSC-derived neurons and pre-existing cortical neurons expressing channelrhodopsin-2.

Multiscale Investigations of Cortical Processing by Integrating Laminar Polytrodes and Optogenetics with Micro Electrocorticography in Rodents

Here, we present two protocols for high-density micro-electrocorticography (µEcoG) recording in rats and mice, including surgical, implantation, and recording methods. µECoG recordings are performed in combination with either laminar polytrode recording in the rat auditory cortex or with optogenetic manipulation of neural activity in the mouse somatosensory...
