Interference microscopy under double-wavelet analysis: a new approach to studying cell dynamics.

This Letter combines a novel experimental approach to the study of intracellular processes with a newly developed technique for multimode time-series analysis. Experiments are performed on isolated pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis) neurons. Local variations in the cellular refractive index as detected by laser interference microscopy are related to the processes in the cell. A wavelet analysis shows the presence of several identifiable modes in the membrane and intracellular dynamics, and a double-wavelet analysis reveals nonlinear interactions between the regulatory processes in the form of mutual frequency and amplitude modulations.

[Redistribution of membrane-bound Ca2+ in neurolemma of leech Retzius-neurons during thermostimulation].

Changes in electrical activity, plasma membrane and inner mitochondrial membrane potentials, as well as in the content of membrane-bound calcium and NADH in identified leech ganglion neurons during thermal stimulation were studied by microelectrode and microfluorimetric methods. It was shown that thermal stimulation of skin patches from different regions of leech body causes a reversible increase in the firing rate of pacemaker neurons (Rz neurons). A decrease in the content of membrane-bound calcium in the neurolemma and NADH content in Rz neuron mitochondria, and a depolarization of inner mitochondrial membrane were also observed.
