Analysis of the spatiotemporal coupling between neuronal activity and cerebral blood flow requires the precise measurement of the dynamics of RBC flow in individual capillaries that irrigate activated neurons. Here, we use two-photon microscopy in vivo to image individual RBCs in glomerular capillaries in the rat dorsal olfactory bulb. We find that odor stimulation evokes capillary vascular responses that are odorant- and glomerulus-specific.

Survival and differentiation of myogenic cells grafted into infarcted myocardium have raised the hope that cell transplantation becomes a new therapy for cardiovascular diseases. The approach was further supported by transplantation of skeletal myoblasts, which was shown to improve cardiac performance in several animal species. Despite the success of myoblast transplantation and its recent trial in human, the mechanism responsible for the functional improvement remains unclear.
