Dendritic spikes facilitate neuronal computation and they have been reported to occur in various regions of the dendritic tree of cortical neurons. Spikes that occur only on a select few branches are particularly difficult to analyze especially in complex and intertwined dendritic arborizations where highly localized application of pharmacological blocking agents is not feasible. Here, we present a technique based on highly targeted dendrotomy to tease out and study dendritic spikes that occur in oblique branches of cortical layer five pyramidal neurons. We first analyze the effect of cutting dendrites

使用超快激光手术刀分析分支特定的树突状钉
树突状刺突促进神经元计算,据报道它们发生在皮质神经元的树突状树的各个区域。仅在少数几个分支上出现的尖峰尤其难以分析,尤其是在复杂且交织的树突状乔木中,药理学阻断剂的高度局部应用是不可行的。在这里,我们提出了一种基于高度针对性的牙本质切开术的技术,以梳理和研究在皮质五层锥体神经元的倾斜分支中发生的树突状刺。我们首先分析切割枝晶的效果
