Resumo

Two-photon microscopy is widely used to investigate brain function across multiple spatial scales. However, measurements of neural activity are compromised by brain movement in behaving animals. Brain motion-induced artifacts are typically corrected using post hoc processing of two-dimensional images, but this approach is slow and does not correct for axial movements. Moreover, the deleterious effects of brain movement on high-speed imaging of small regions of interest and photostimulation cannot be corrected post hoc. To address this problem, we combined random-access three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning using an acousto-optic lens and rapid closed-loop field programmable gate array processing to track 3D brain movement and correct motion artifacts in real time at up to 1 kHz. Our recordings from synapses, dendrites and large neuronal populations in behaving mice and zebrafish demonstrate real-time movement-corrected 3D two-photon imaging with submicrometer precision. Real-time 3D movement correction by tracking a fluorescent bead in the field of view enables functional imaging with 3D two-photon random-access microscopy in behaving mice and zebrafish. (AU)
