Study of cadmium-induced cytotoxicity using two-photon excitation endogenous fluorescence microscopy.

abstract：:Spatially confined and precise time delivery of neuroactive molecules is an important issue in neurophysiology. In this work we developed a technique for delivering chemical stimuli to cultured neurons consisting in encapsulating the molecules of interest in liposomes.
