Visualizing Neuron Morphology Post-Stimulation

We used microinjection and confocal microscope (Dumitriu et al. 2011) to visualize and quantify the neural morphology at 24 h and 48 h post-stimulation. The sections were selected within the distance of approximately ±0.4 mm anterior-posterior (AP) away from the optic fiber. The injection was done only into the pyramidal neurons from layer 2 -3 of ACC (24a/24b) from both hemispheres. The injection pipettes were pulled from glass capillaries with filament, with a final resistance around 150 MΩ. We filled the pipette with red fluorescent dye solution Alexa 568 hydrazide (#A10441, Thermo Fisher, USA) in filtered 1× PBS (1 : 40). We performed microinjection under the microscope of a patchclamp set-up. During injection, we penetrated the pipette tip into the soma and switched on the current to -20 pA to drive the dye diffusion for 20 min. Later we switched off the current but left the pipette tip inside the soma for another 5 min to fill the dendrite and spines. All the sections were retrieved and covered with Vectashild H-1000 (Vector Laboratories, Germany) for confocal microscope imaging. We checked all the injected neurons for YFP signal; only neurons with YFP signal were identified as pyramidal neurons and selected for further analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
