Synaptic Imaging Assay

Synaptic Imaging

Proper nervous system functioning is contingent upon precise patterns of neuronal connectivity, which in turn hinges upon trillions of synapses present in the mature brain. Since patterns of brain connectivity and function rely upon the precision with which synapses are formed and function, it is therefore essential that we examine and understand the synapses. Impairment of synaptic function is associated with many neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Synaptic imaging, as a very important technique in understanding synaptic structure and function, enables synaptic electrical signal conduction and synaptic strength to be well estimated.

Synaptic Imaging Assay

Creative Biolabs offers a synaptic imaging assay for evaluating the effect of different treatments on synapse formation and identification. We designed a platform for imaging and analysis of synaptic structures with cutting-edge technology and expertise for quantification and characterization (Fig. 1). Synapses are crucial to brain function and frequent disease targets, and the synaptic imaging assay provided by Creative Biolabs is of great importance in the understanding and research of neurological diseases.
