SUMMARY:Thesis defense - Agata Idziak
DESCRIPTION:CGFB and on zoom (https://u-bordeaux-fr.zoom.us/j/6325485773) \nDefense in english \n\nThesis Supervisor : Valentin Nägerl (IINS) \nTitre\nInvestigating the structure and function of brain extracellular space using super-resolution microscopy \nAbstract\nEvery cell in the brain is embedded in a fluid called the extracellular space (ECS). Its structural complexity with intercellular gaps as narrow as ten nanometers\, presents a challenge of visualizing the ECS in living brain tissue. Our recently established SUSHI technique overpasses this issue enabling to image the ECS with a nanoscale resolution. During my PhD training\, I unveiled new structural information about ECS\, as well as characterized novel tools to study it. My PhD work was divided into three projects\, all aiming at investigating the structure and function of brain ECS.\n(1) Using the SUSHI approach\, I studied the heterogeneity of ECS structure across hippocampal layers\, which are known to have a very distinct cellular organization. My results show that ECS varies in volume and width across hippocampus\, raising a question whether region-based differences in ECS structure in the hippocampus could support the unique anatomical as well as functional properties of each layer.\n(2) Chemical fixation leads to drastic shrinkage of ECS\, yet it was only investigated in a context of electron microscopy. With help of SUSHI\, I performed a systematic analysis of the impact of chemical fixation on brain tissue morphology. The results revealed only minor structural alteration\, meaning that chemical fixation alone is not the reason for such dramatic effects.\n(3) Studying calcium signals in the ECS was a challenge since all available biosensors were not designed to measure ion concentrations with a millimolar affinity. Here\, I characterized a novel tool\, GreenT\, to capture extracellular calcium dynamics. By imaging GreenT signals during electrophysiological stimulations\, I was able to measure calcium fluctuations in the ECS upon neuronal activation. This is the beginning of applying this tool for physiology studies aiming at understanding the role of extracellular calcium. \nKeywords: super-resolution STED microscopy\, SUSHI\, ECS\, chemical fixation\, extracellular calcium\, GreenT \nPublications\nDembitskaya Y\, Boyce A\, Idziak A\, (…)\, Nägerl V.U.
