Experimental setup for the concomitant recording of axonal trafficking and network maturation. Transport dynamics of dense core vesicles and mitochondria (upper green box) were recorded in the distal part of axonal channels and kymographs were analyzed using the indicated kinetic parameters. Synaptic formation (left blue box) was analyzed by quantifying the number of adjacent spots of synaptophysin (presynaptic) and PSD95 (postsynaptic) per 100 μm. Glutamatergic transmission (right blue box) was assessed by quantifying the number of iGluSnFR spots per mm2 after cortical stimulation (right). Network activity and synchrony (lower orange box) was assessed using calcium imaging of GCaMP6f in striatal neurons.
