Spontaneous activity of glomeruli in mouse olfactory bulb two days after birth (VIDEO)

Kyushu University

Caption

Olfactory bulb of mouse two days after birth with fluorescence indicating signaling. The video shows that glomeruli, the signaling way station in the olfactory bulb, spontaneously send out signals. This spontaneous signaling will eventually lead to proper networking and pruning of mitral cells. The video was imaged ex vivo using two-photon microscopy.
