Title

Visualization of the movement and location of neurotransmitter receptors and synaptic vesicle protein with TIRFM

Abstract

Neurotransmitter receptors and synaptic vesicles move dynamically in response to neuronal activity. We have developed an original experimental system to induce the formation of synaptic like membrane on a glass surface and live-cell image synaptic molecules by TIRFM. I will talk about the exocytosis and endocytosis of AMPA receptors during synaptic plasticity or Synaptophysin after presynaptic activation.
