Topic: 3D two-photon laser scanning microscopy

Although dendritic signaling strongly influences sensory processing and learning, the connection between dendritic integration and somatic output is still not fully understood. Our aim is maping the origins of dendritic events during different aspects of visual learning.We used 3D two-photon laser scanning microscopy with acousto-optic deflectors to simultaneously record jRGECO1a (calcium) and JEDI-2p (voltage) signals in the apical dendrites of layer 5 pyramidal cells in the primary visual cortex of mice during visual discrimination. We examined mice with controlled water access participating
