Cytochemical Organization of the Retino-Suprachiasmatic System.

Abstract

This document analyzes, calcium behavior of cultured cells from the SCN. Using digitally enhanced video imaging, we have studied the responses of both neurons and glial cells to glutamate and to several other substances found in the SCN. It has been taken several years to get the apparatus functioning, but we are now in a good position to make use of both the low light computer enhanced video system and the confocal laser scanning microscope to study the behavior of living SCN cells. One of the strong advantages of this approach is that single cells can be studied. or interacting groups of cells can be studied simultaneously.
