Fiber photometry has been increasingly popular in neuroscience research in freely behaving animals. In combination with genetically encoded calcium indicators, it allows for real-time monitoring of neural activity in neuronal somata, dendrites, and axonal terminals. We developed a multichannel fiber photometry device to map the activity of axonal terminals in a restricted, 100 - μ m -wide brain region in freely moving mice. This device consists of four bundled multimode fibers, each with a 50 - μ m core diameter and a scientific complementary metal-oxide semiconductor camera to simultaneously acquire fluorescence. We achieved a sampling rate of 100    frames / s and sufficient sensitivity to acquire data from axonal terminals. To avoid interference with neighboring channels, the recording depth of each channel was restricted to < 250    μ m . Furthermore, the small-core-diameter fibers did not restrict mouse locomotion. Using the Ca 2 + indicator GCaMP5G, we validated the system by recording Ca 2 + signals in axonal terminals from the medial entorhinal cortex layer II to the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) in freely moving mice. We detected spatially separated Ca 2 + signals at four different sites in the DG. Therefore, our multichannel fiber photometry device provides a simple but powerful method to functionally map axonal terminals in spatially confined brain areas of freely moving animals.

多通道光纤测光法可在自由移动的小鼠中绘制受限大脑区域中的轴突终末活性。

纤维光度法在神经科学研究中对行为自由的动物越来越流行。与遗传编码的钙指示剂结合使用,它可以实时监控神经元躯体,树突和轴突末端的神经活动。我们开发了一种多通道光纤测光设备,可在自由移动的小鼠中限制100μm宽脑区的轴突末端的活动。该设备由四根捆绑的多模光纤组成,每根光纤的纤芯直径为50μm,并配有科学的互补金属氧化物半导体摄像头以同时获取荧光。我们实现了100帧/秒的采样率,并具有足够的灵敏度来从轴突终端获取数据。为避免与相邻通道发生干扰,每个通道的记录深度均限制为<250μm。此外,小芯径纤维不会限制鼠标的运动。使用Ca 2 +指示剂GCaMP5G,我们通过记录自由移动小鼠中从内侧内嗅皮质层II到海马齿状回(DG)的轴突末端中的Ca 2 +信号来验证系统。我们在DG中的四个不同位置检测到了空间分离的Ca 2 +信号。因此,我们的多通道光纤测光装置提供了一种简单但功能强大的方法,可在功能上限制动物活动的空间受限的大脑区域中绘制轴突末端的功能。我们在DG中的四个不同位置检测到了空间分离的Ca 2 +信号。因此,我们的多通道光纤测光装置提供了一种简单但功能强大的方法,可在功能上限制动物活动的空间受限的大脑区域中绘制轴突末端的功能。我们在DG中的四个不同位置检测到了空间分离的Ca 2 +信号。因此,我们的多通道光纤测光装置提供了一种简单但功能强大的方法,可以在功能上自由移动的动物的空间有限的大脑区域中绘制轴突末端的功能图。
