[Abstract]  Primary culture of mouse hippocampal neurons is a very useful in vitro model for studying neuronal development, axonal and dendritic morphology, synaptic functions, and many other neuronal features. Here we describe a step-by-step process of generating primary neurons from mouse embryonic hippocampi (E17.5/E18.5). Hippocampal neurons generated with this protocol can be plated in different tissue culture dishes according to different experimental aims and can produce a reliable source of pure and differentiated neurons in less than one week. This protocol covers all the steps necessary for the preparation, culture and characterization of the neuronal culture, including the illustration of dissection instruments, surgical procedure for embryos’ isolation, culturing conditions and ... [摘要]  [摘要] 原代培养小鼠海马神经元是一种非常有用的体外模型用于研究神经元的发育,轴突和树突的形态,突触功能,以及许多其他神经元的特征。这里我们描述了从小鼠胚胎海马(E17.5/E18.5)产生初级神经元的一步一步的过程。根据不同的实验目的,用该方法产生的海马神经元可以在不同的组织培养皿中进行培养,并能在不到一周的时间内产生一个可靠的来源。该方案涵盖了神经元培养物的制备、培养和鉴定的所有必要步骤,包括解剖器械的说明、胚胎分离的手术程序、培养条件以及培养物纯度和分化的评估。通过分析培养6天时的钙显像动力学来评估神经元的活性。

[背景] 海马体是一个非常典型的大脑结构,对重要的大脑功能如记忆、空间导航、情绪记忆和学习至关重要。从解剖学上讲,小鼠海马体有一个清晰的C形结构,很容易定位和分离。在细胞水平上,它主要由锥体细胞组成,与其他脑区相比,中间神经元和胶质细胞较少(Kaech和Banker,2006)。因此,海马体是从野生型或基因工程小鼠模型中产生高纯度原代神经元培养物的理想区域,可用于疾病建模或研究神经元功能的多个方面,如突触传递和电生理特性、对神经毒性的敏感性,分化与衰老(;;;;)。Busche,2018Koyama和Ikegaya,2018Molnar,2011Wu等人,2019Rush等人,2020年

已经制定了许多协议,通过与神经胶质喂食器共同培养神经元来产生皮层和海马神经元(Kaech和Banker,2006),描述了用水凝胶微纤维封装的星形胶质细胞的三维神经元培养系统(Kim等人,2020年),长期向培养基中补充生长因子神经元培养(Ray ...

Dual-sided Voltage-sensitive Dye Imaging of Leech Ganglia

[Abstract]  In this protocol, we introduce an effective method for voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) loading and imaging of leech ganglia as used in Tomina and Wagenaar (2017). Dissection and dye loading procedures are the most critical steps toward successful whole-ganglion VSD imaging. The former entails the removal of the sheath that covers neurons in the segmental ganglion of the leech, which is required for successful dye loading. The latter entails gently flowing a new generation VSD, VF2.1(OMe).H, onto both sides of the ganglion simultaneously using a pair of peristaltic pumps. We expect the described techniques to translate broadly to wide-field VSD imaging in other thin and relatively transparent nervous systems. [摘要]  在这个协议中,我们介绍了一种有效的方法,用于Tomina和Wagenaar(2017)中使用的电压敏感染料(VSD)加载和水蛭神经节成像。 解剖和染料加载程序是成功完成全神经节VSD成像的关键步骤。 前者需要去除覆盖水蛭节段神经节神经元的鞘,这是成功染料加载所需的。 后者需要使用一对蠕动泵同时轻柔地将新一代VSD VF2.1(OMe).H流入神经节的两侧。 我们期望所描述的技术广泛地转化为其他薄且相对透明的神经系统中的宽视场VSD成像。

【背景】双面显微镜是一种宽视野荧光成像系统,由一对精确对准的显微镜组成,用于观察来自对面的神经元制剂并且一次显示不同的焦平面(Tomina and Wagenaar,2017)。通过将该光学系统与新一代电压敏感染料(VSD),VoltageFluor(Miller等人,2012; Woodford等人,2015),荧光可以同时从不同深度的神经元捕获编码具有高保真度膜电压的信号。我们将这种泛神经元记录系统应用于药用水蛭的神经系统,我们利用电生理学方法诱发虚构行为并定量控制可识别神经元的膜电位(Tomina and ...
