Comparative one- and two-photon uncaging of MNI-glutamate and MNI-kainate on hippocampal CA1 neurons

These findings highlight the importance of experimental design for uncaging experiments and provide a basis for future studies employing one- and two-photon uncaging to understand glutamate-dependent processes. It further provides the first example of two-photon uncaging of kainate at single spines in acute brain slices.
