How structural and functional properties of synapses relate to each other is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Electrophysiology has elucidated mechanisms of synaptic transmission, while electron microscopy (EM) has provided insights into the morphological properties of synapses.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
You will get a detailed introduction to how optogenetic stimulation is applied in the EM ICE. Furthermore, Dr. Carolina Borges-Merjane and PhD candidate Olena Kim from the laboratory of Professor Peter Jonas at the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria talk about applying this technology on intact networks in acute brain slices and organotypic brain slice cultures from mice.
Join our webinar to learn more about the potential of functional EM with acute slices and slice cultures to reveal structural and functional mechanisms of synaptic transmission.
