Quantitative Classification of Somatostatin-Positive Neocortical Interneurons Identifies Three Interneuron Subtypes
- Laura M McGarry, A. Packer, E. Fino, V. Nikolenko, Tanya Sippy, R. Yuste
- Psychology, Medicine
- Front. Neural Circuits
- 9 January 2010
Deciphering the circuitry of the neocortex requires knowledge of its components, making a systematic classification of neocortical neurons necessary. GABAergic interneurons contribute most of the… Expand
Two-photon photostimulation and imaging of neural circuits

- 1 November 2007
We introduce an optical method to stimulate individual neurons in brain slices in any arbitrary spatiotemporal pattern, using two-photon uncaging of MNI-glutamate with beam multiplexing. This method… Expand
SLM Microscopy: Scanless Two-Photon Imaging and Photostimulation with Spatial Light Modulators

- 11 October 2008
Laser microscopy has generally poor temporal resolution, caused by the serial scanning of each pixel. This is a significant problem for imaging or optically manipulating neural circuits, since… Expand
Sodium channels amplify spine potentials

- 24 July 2007
Dendritic spines mediate most excitatory synapses in the brain. Past theoretical work and recent experimental evidence have suggested that spines could contain sodium channels. We tested this by… Expand
Multiphoton stimulation of neurons.
