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.
