Abstract
Monitoring neuronal activity at large scale and high spatiotemporal resolution is crucial for understanding information processing within the brain. Here we optimized a kilohertz-frame-rate two-photon fluorescence microscope with an all-optical megahertz line-scan rate to achieve ultrafast imaging across large areas and volumes at subcellular resolution. Applying this technique to in vivo voltage and calcium imaging, we demonstrated simultaneous recording of voltage activity over 200 neurons and calcium activity over 14,000 neurons from the mouse visual cortex, as well as volumetric calcium imaging of the larval zebrafish brain.
