Project:
“Investigations into major steps of muscle spindle mechanosensation: from transduction to afferent discharge”
Project implied:
– Micro-dissection of muscular tissue on rats/mice (lumbrical and soleus muscle)
– Staining of in vitro muscle sample, using a voltage-dependant dye
– Optical monitoring of fluorescence intensity
– Software tracking (ImageJ/Volocity®) of stained nerve terminals, fluorescence intensity measurements along with muscle stretching
– Electrophysiology recording of the lumbrical muscle afferent nerve
– Data sorting, analysis and interpretation
