Optical Bioimaging: From Living Tissue to a Single Molecule: Optical Detection of Synaptically Induced Glutamate Transporter Activity in Hippocampal Slices

ABSTRACT: Since voltage-sensitive dyes (VSDs) change their optical properties in response to membrane potential changes, non-invasive optical measurements of membrane excitation using VSDs have been applied to various types of excitable tissue. This article deals with the authors' recent work u...
