Dit werk werd ondersteund door National Institutes of Health beurzen RO1GM-33205 en de MH-067284 naar LC Griffith en door een Brandeis University zomer undergraduate research beurs NJ Hornstein. Voorlopige experimenten voor deze techniek werden uitgevoerd bij de Marine Biological Laboratory in het kader van de 2008 Neural Systems and Behavior zomer cursus (NIMH te verlenen: R25 MH059472) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Kritische stappen omvatten zowel de initiële dissectie en het invoeren van spiercellen. Als zenuwen zijn doorgesneden of spier is beschadigd tijdens de eerste dissectie is het moeilijk om door te gaan de rest van het experiment. Tijdens de dissectie, moet men zeer voorzichtig te ontleden schaar omhoog zoveel mogelijk hoek tijdens de dorsale incisie. Tijdens de tweede cruciale stap, het invoeren van een spiercel, moet men kijken naar een hyperpolarisatie verleden ~ 30 mV. Waarden boven de -30 mV geven aan dat de elektro...

channelrhodopsin2 mediated stimulation of synaptic potentials at drosophila neuromuscular junctions

De<em&gt; Drosophila</em&gt; Larvale neuromusculaire voorbereiding heeft zich bewezen als een nuttig instrument voor het bestuderen van synaptische fysiologie worden<sup&gt; 1,2,3</sup&gt;. Momenteel is de enige beschikbare middelen prikkelend junctionele potentials (EJPs) op te roepen in dit preparaat omvat het gebruik van de zuigkracht elektroden. In zowel onderzoek als onderwijs labs, studenten vaak moeite hebben om te manoeuvreren en manipuleren van dit soort stimulerende elektrode. In dit werk, laten we zien hoe op afstand synaptische potentialen te stimuleren op het larvale NMJ zonder het gebruik van zuigkracht elektroden. Met het uitdrukken van channelrhodopsin2 (ChR2)<sup&gt; 4,5,6</sup&gt; In<em&gt; Drosophila</em&gt; Motorneuronen het gebruik van de<em&gt; GAL4-UAS</em&gt; Systeem<sup&gt; 7</sup&gt;, En het maken van kleine wijzigingen in een basic rig elektrofysiologie, waren we in staat om een ​​betrouwbare EJPs roepen met pulsen van blauw licht. Deze techniek kan van bijzonder het gebruik in het onderwijs neurofysiologie laboratoria waar de student rig praktijk tijd en middelen zijn beperkt.

Channelrhodopsin2 Mediated Stimulation of Synaptic Potentials at Drosophila Neuromuscular Junctions

Deze procedure maakt gebruik van een blauw licht geactiveerd algen kanaal en cel-specifieke genetische expressie tools om synaptische potentialen op te roepen met lichtpulsen op de neuromusculaire junctie (NMJ) in<em&gt; Drosophila</em&gt; Larven. Deze techniek is een goedkoop en makkelijk te gebruiken alternatief voor zuigkracht elektrode stimulatie voor synaptische fysiologie studies in onderzoek en onderwijs laboratoria.
