在不受束缚的动物中进行非侵入性记录可以说是分析神经元功能的最终步骤,但这种记录仍然难以捉摸。为了解决这个问题,我们设计了一个系统,可以真实的实时跟踪神经元大小的荧光目标。该系统可用于通过感觉神经元的光遗传学激活来创建虚拟环境,或者在高放大率下对识别出的神经元中的活动进行成像。通过记录自由运动的C. elegans,我们测试了长期存在的假设,即向前和向后运动是由不同的神经元回路产生的。令人惊讶的是,我们发现运动神经元在这两种类型的运动中都是活跃的,这表明了C。优美的这些结果强调了在自由移动的动物中记录神经元活动的重要性,并通过提供稳定荧光靶点的方法显着扩展了成像技术的潜力。
Non-invasive recording in untethered animals is arguably the ultimate step in the analysis of neuronal function, but such recordings remain elusive. To address this problem, we devised a system that tracks neuron-sized fluorescent targets in real time. The system can be used to create virtual environments by optogenetic activation of sensory neurons, or to image activity in identified neurons at high magnification. By recording activity in neurons of freely moving C. elegans, we tested the long-standing hypothesis that forward and reverse locomotion are generated by distinct neuronal circuits. Surprisingly, we found motor neurons that are active during both types of locomotion, suggesting a new model of locomotion control in C. elegans. These results emphasize the importance of recording neuronal activity in freely moving animals and significantly expand the potential of imaging techniques by providing a mean to stabilize fluorescent targets.
