Abstract(in English) Monitoring neuronal activities from multiple neurons is essential for understanding neuronal network activities. We have developed a novel method to label multiple granule cells retrogradely with a Ca^<2+> indicator in rat hippocampal slices. Synchronized burst activities, which were induced by applying 4-aminopyridine, were monitored extracellularly with a glass electrode placed at the granule cell layer in the dentate gyrus. During the burst activities, action potential-induced Ca^<2+> transients from multiple (4 - 12) granule cells were monitored simultaneously with a cooled CCD camera with single-cell resolution. Temporal structures of firing patterns from the multiple neurons were determined from Ca^<2+> imaging data. We found that temporal synchrony of the action potentials within the single burst event was enhanced as the burst activities proceeded.
