There has been significant progress in the development of voltage-sensitive dyes and fast optical imaging technologies to study neural networks. With the recent rapid growth in this area of science, we felt that it was timely to obtain a state-of-the-art update on both the technological and scientific advances in this field. In particular, the use of newly developed optical dyes and recent advances in CCD chip design that has facilitated real-time imaging at near single cell resolution. Our seminar speakers will cover selected aspects of this topic and will highlight its application to the study of autonomic neural circuits.
