Two-photon (2P) Microscopy to Study Ca2+ Signaling in Astrocytes From Acute Brain Slices by Annamaria Lia, Micaela Zonta

“…The technical evolution from chemical fluorescent Ca2+ probes with low cellular specificity to genetically encoded indicators (GECIs) has enabled detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal features of intracellular Ca2+ signal. Different imaging methodologies allow the extraction of distinct information on calcium signals in astrocytes from brain slices, with resolution ranging from cell populations to single cells up to subcellular domains.Here, we describe 2-photon laser scanning microscopy (2PLSM) Ca2+ imaging in astrocytes from the somatosensory cortex (SSCx) of adult mice in ex vivo acute cortical slices, performed using two genetically encoded Ca2+ indicators, i.e., cytosolic GCaMP6f and endoplasmic reticulum-targeted G-CEPIA1er. …”
