15 Future improvements in the design and expression of genetically encoded calcium sensors may overcome some of these limitations. 23,48,49 Because of its mechanism of action, this probe has proved particularly useful for investigating a question of long-standing interest in olfaction: the presynaptic modulation of transmitter release from receptor neurons. Here, we present example experiments in which we use spH imaging to investigate the functional organization of this inhibition in the glomerular layer and its role in shaping odor representations in vivo.
A similar approach is used for characterizing genetically encoded optical probes that report calcium or voltage. 19, 21, 24 However, under the right experimental conditions, spH is also an effective reporter of transmitter release (and hence synaptic transmission) when imaged at high temporal resolution and using single, brief electrical stimuli in olfactory bulb slices to elicit one or a few presynaptic action potentials. 8. 1 ms) shock delivered to the axons of ORNs expressing spH evokes a fluorescence increase in two discrete glomeruli.
Each upsampled frame is then cross-correlated with the reference frame; if the peak of this cross-correlation is different from the origin (indicating movement), the original frame is upsampled further (to 8× original resolution), then shifted according to the peak of its crosscorrelation with the reference. The shifted frame is then down-sampled to the original resolution. More complex movement-correction algorithms can be implemented to correct for more serious motion artifact. For example, optical signals imaged via two-photon imaging from awake, head-fixed mice are subject to movement both within and out of the plane of focus, and the higher resolution from two-photon imaging presents a more serious challenge for movement correction.
