Electrophysiology has elucidated mechanisms of synaptic transmission, and electron microscopy (EM) has provided insight into morphological properties of synapses. Here we describe an enhanced method for functional EM (“flash and freeze”), combining optogenetic stimulation with high-pressure freezing. We demonstrate that the improved method can be applied to intact networks in acute brain slices and organotypic slice cultures from mice. As a proof of concept, we probed vesicle pool changes during synaptic transmission at the hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal neuron synapse. Our findings show overlap of the docked vesicle pool and the functionally defined readily releasable pool and provide evidence of fast endocytosis at this synapse. Functional EM with acute slices and slice cultures has the potential to reveal the structural and functional mechanisms of transmission in intact, genetically perturbed, and disease-affected synapses."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0896-6273"]},"type":"journal_article","month":"03","date_published":"2020-03-18T00:00:00Z","file_date_updated":"2020-11-20T08:58:53Z","date_created":"2020-02-10T15:59:45Z","oa_version":"Published Version","article_type":"original","article_processing_charge":"No","has_accepted_license":"1","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","ec_funded":1,"status":"public","title":"Functional electron microscopy (“Flash and Freeze”) of identified cortical synapses in acute brain slices","ddc":["570"],"doi":"10.1016/j.neuron.2019.12.022","acknowledgement":"This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) and European Commission (EC), under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (ERC grant agreement No. 692692 and Marie Sklodowska-Curie 708497) and from Fonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung (Z 312-B27 Wittgenstein award and DK W1205-B09).
