Imaging a single neuron in a mouse hippocampal slice

Caption

A neuron in a hippocampal slice from the mouse model developed by the team, in which the glutamate receptor GluA2 is 'labelled' to create a stain of an isolated neuron. Magenta: stain of GluA2, on the dendrites of the neuron; green: Soluble GFP stain of the cell body and axon. Images of the neuron are produced with a light sheet microscope, a high-resolution imaging technology.
