Both neurons and astrocytes are known to affect local vascular response in the brain following neuronal activity. In order to differentiate the contributions of each cell type to the hemodynamic response during stimulation and resting state, intrinsic optical signal (IOI) was recorded synchronized with fluorescence imaging of calcium concentration sensitive dye Oregon Green BAPTA-1 AM. By changing the stimulation parameters (frequency and duration), it was possible to individually promote neuronal and glial responses and to compare them to levels of oxy (HbO), deoxy (HbR) and total (HbT) hemoglobin concentrations. Finally, resting state recordings were done to investigate the possible correlation between hemoglobin fluctuation and calcium transients, based on different frequency bands associated either with neuronal or glial activity.
已知神经元和星形胶质细胞都会在神经元活动后影响大脑局部血管反应。为了区分每种细胞类型在刺激和静息状态下对血流动力学反应的贡献,将内在光学信号(IOI)与钙浓度敏感染料 Oregon Green BAPTA-1 AM的荧光成像同步记录。通过改变刺激参数(频率和持续时间),可以分别促进神经元和胶质细胞反应,并将它们与氧合血红蛋白(HbO)、脱氧血红蛋白(HbR)和总血红蛋白(HbT)浓度水平进行比较。最后,基于与神经元或胶质细胞活动相关的不同频段,进行静息状态记录以研究血红蛋白波动与钙瞬变之间的可能相关性。
