Employing Multiple New Neurobiological Methods to Investigate Environmental Neurotoxicology in Mice.

ABSTRACT

The emergence of advanced and powerful neuroscientific technologies has greatly pushed forward the development of neurobiology in the last decade. Although neurotoxicology is an interdisciplinary subject sharing a mass of technologies with neurobiology, the implementation of these advanced technologies in neurotoxicology is merely seen. Here we describe the detailed methods and materials of some emerging neuroscientific technologies, including optogenetics, fiber photometry, in vivo two-photon Imaging, in vivo calcium imaging, and in vivo electrophysiological recording, hoping that the integration of technologies from neurotoxicology and neuroscience can lend weight to the development of neurotoxicology.
