Hi and thanks for the responses!
Let me explain again my question.
I try to find a tool for the following question:
I wonder if in a pain-model I use a subset of neurons is depolarized.
To patch the cells would influence the resting membrane potential of the
neurons.
Therefore I got the idea to stain the slice with some fluorescence dye
and to see (e.g. by the fluorescence intensity) if there is a subset of
neurons with a more positive resting potential.
(I do not need to record voltage changes upon stimulation at that point).
Are DI8-ANNEPS or DI4-ANEPPDHQ etc applicable to answer my questions?
Thanks a lot for your help!
