Analyses of synapse physiology by super-resolution microscopy

University of Bonn
Empirical & clinical neuroscience
About this course

Topics covered include:

  • Application of immunohistochemistry combined with tissue clearing and subsequent expansion of labeled structures
  • Training in confocal fluorescence microscopy
  • Ultrastructural analyses and quantification of synaptic proteins under different experimental conditions
  • Exploration of synaptic structure and perisynaptic glia
Learning outcomes

Students receive elaborated hands-on experience in modern sophisticated imaging techniques. Students learn in depth knowledge in immunocytochemistry and quantitative analyses of ultrastructural assembly in synaptic structures archived by new methods in light microscopy.
