Abstract:
Monitoring membrane potentials by multisite optical recording techniques using voltage-sensitive dyes is ideal for direct analysis of network signaling. We applied this technology to monitor fast and slow excitability changes in the enteric nervous system and in hundreds of neurons simultaneously at cellular and subcellular resolution. This imaging technique presents a powerful tool to study activity patterns in enteric pathways and to assess differential activation of nerves in the gut to a n...     »
