Application Notes
Imaging sodium transients in neurons and astrocytes
2020 년 05 월
This application note presents data from Dr Gerkau, Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany on how increases in intracellular sodium in astrocytes and neurons drive the reversal of the sodium/calcium exchange (NCX) during peri-infarct depolarisations (PIDs) in stroke. Nikon’s stable and reliable FN1 microscope combined with its NIS-Elements software were essential in providing high-quality imaging and analysis of intracellular sodium ions in astrocytes and neurons in living brain tissue.
