Abstract
Fluorescence in-situ hybridization could be a powerful
tool for analyzing the dynamics of memory phases if a semi-quantitative
measurement of mRNA levels could be performed with a cellular resolution.
While such a method does not yet exist, we show preliminary results in that
direction where direct labelling of RNA probes with fluorescent dyes is
combined with single-molecule-like detection.
