Active View Entry | Neuron with labeled synapses3509In this image, recombinant probes known as FingRs (Fibronectin Intrabodies Generated by mRNA display) were expressed in a cortical neuron, where they attached fluorescent proteins to either PSD95 (green) or Gephyrin (red). PSD-95 is a marker for synaptic strength at excitatory postsynaptic sites, and Gephyrin plays a similar role at inhibitory postsynaptic sites. Thus, using FingRs it is possible to obtain a map of synaptic connections onto a particular neuron in a living cell in real time.

Hi Sharon,
I have some other images that I can send you. I am currently out of the country and will be back aug. 5. I'll contact you then

Dear Dr. Arnold,
In tracking NIGMS-funded published research, I came across the fantastic image from your June 19 Neuron paper that was posted on the NIH Director's Blog (http://directorsblog.nih.gov/2013/07/25/watching-neuron-attachments-in-real-time/). Do you have any similar high-resolution images that were not published (and thus are free of copyright restrictions) that we could put into the NIGMS public domain image and video gallery?
If you do have any to share, please let me know, and I can let you know a bit more about the resolution we need and other details (captions, etc.).
Best regards,
Sharon
