Imaging the brain in vivo

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers from Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen and Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, both in Germany, have reviewed in vivo multiphoton microscopy of the brain. Until recently, only electrophysiology could detect individual action potentials, but high-resistance electrodes can damage neurons and whole-cell patch clamping can change the activity of the neuron under study. These limitations, and the fact that electrophysiology does not provide visual information in real time, left a need filled by multiphoton microscopy with...Read full article
