Intact SynaPtic Imaging in REal-time
Modern fluorescence microscopy can provide rapid, real-time functional imaging of brain activities (light sheet) or to visualize with high definition and specificity the synaptic organization (super resolution, expansion). However, rapidity and precision are still too far apart to allow studies of fast dynamics with intra-synaptic precision mainly due to incompatible optical and probes requirements in current technologies. My aim is to fill this gap with the development of an optical platform, named InSpIRe, which allows real-time volumetric imaging of brain tissues with intra-synaptic level of details thanks to a new optical scheme coupled to the photo-switching properties of recently…
