Live-cell visualization of whole neurons was performed by transfection (Bakkum et al., 2013 (link); Radivojevic et al., 2016 (link)). Transfection was performed using a pLV-hSyn-RFP plasmid from Edward Callaway (The Salk Institute, US; Addgene, #22909) and Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies) in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol.
