Dextranes fluorescents ont été utilisés comme outils pour l&#39;imagerie anatomique et l&#39;activité neuronale 1-4. Fields et al. (2009) 4 a publié un protocole pour l&#39;application d&#39;ions et de tension des colorants sensibles à de vastes axonales avec un accent sur ​​la moelle épinière comme un système modèle. Nous décrivons ici une procédure plus détaillée pour l&#39;application de colorant fluorescent et / ou sensible aux ions de couper les racines et ventrales,...

<p class="jove_content"&gt; Nous décrivons ici un protocole simple et rentable pour l&#39;introduction de colorants dans les neurones, les nerfs et les secteurs de la colonne vertébrale. Cette méthode consiste à exposer les voies anatomiques identifiés à une solution fortement concentrée de colorant pour la durée du processus de chargement. Il en résulte marquage rétrograde du site cible avec peu de fond par rapport à microinjections, l&#39;application de bain et des techniques d&#39;électroporation. Cependant, la méthode est limit...

retrograde loading of nerves, tracts, and spinal roots with fluorescent dyes

Marquage rétrograde de neurones est une méthode standard de 1,2 anatomique qui a également été utilisé pour charger de calcium et de la tension des colorants sensibles dans les neurones 3-6. En général, les colorants sont appliqués sous forme de cristaux solides ou par injection sous pression locale en utilisant des pipettes en verre. Toutefois, cela peut entraîner une dilution de l&#39;intensité de marquage colorant et réduite, en particulier lorsque plusieurs heures sont nécessaires pour la diffusion de colorant. Ici, nous démontrons une technique simple et à faible coût pour l&#39;introduction de colorants fluorescents et sensible aux ions dans les neurones à l&#39;aide d&#39;une pipette d&#39;aspiration en polyéthylène rempli de la solution de colorant. Cette méthode offre un moyen fiable pour le maintien d&#39;une forte concentration du colorant en contact avec les axones à travers la procédure de chargement.
