Kritische Schritte umfassen sowohl die ursprüngliche Dissektion und das Eintreten von Muskelzellen. Wenn die Nerven abgeschnitten werden oder Muskel beschädigt ist während der ersten Sektion ist es schwierig, den Rest das Experiment fortzusetzen. Während Dissektion, muss man sehr vorsichtig sein, um Winkel Präparierscheren nach oben so viel wie möglich während der dorsale Inzision. Während der zweite entscheidende Schritt in eine Muskelzelle, muss man für eine Hyperpolarisation letzten ~ 30 mV zu beobachten. We...

channelrhodopsin2 mediated stimulation of synaptic potentials at drosophila neuromuscular junctions

Die<em&gt; Drosophila</em&gt; Larvalen neuromuskulären Vorbereitung hat sich als ein nützliches Werkzeug für die Untersuchung synaptischer Physiologie<sup&gt; 1,2,3</sup&gt;. Derzeit ist das nur für exzitatorische junctional Potentiale (EJPs) in dieser Zubereitung auslösen beinhaltet die Verwendung von Saug-Elektroden. In Forschung und Lehre Labore, Studenten haben oft Schwierigkeiten, Rangieren und manipulieren diese Art der stimulierenden Elektrode. In der vorliegenden Arbeit zeigen wir, wie aus der Ferne zu stimulieren synaptischen Potentiale an den Larven NMJ ohne den Einsatz von Saug-Elektroden. Durch die Expression Channelrhodopsin2 (ChR2)<sup&gt; 4,5,6</sup&gt; In<em&gt; Drosophila</em&gt; Motoneuronen mit dem<em&gt; GAL4-UAS</em&gt; System<sup&gt; 7</sup&gt;, Und kleinere Änderungen an einer grundlegenden Elektrophysiologie rig, konnten wir zuverlässig wecken EJPs mit Impulsen von blauem Licht. Diese Technik könnte von besonderem Nutzen in der Neurophysiologie Lehre Labors, in denen Schüler rig Praxis Zeit und Ressourcen sind begrenzt.
