Abstract
Memory relies on the firing of simultaneously activated neurons (engram), whose synapses are strengthened by long-term potentiation mechanisms. Optogenetic tools and a fluorescence probe to map synaptic engrams, were combined with a digital light processor device (DLP), to create in-vitro engrams and study populations of potentiated spines.
