FLIPR Complete Calibration with known kP - Goldman with Neural Network ( IAFLIPRCompleteKPGoldmanNeural )

Parameters:
Name Short Name Type Description
Range definitions in time courses rangedef string Defines whether the ranges given below refer to frames or seconds in the recordings
Baseline Range BaselineRange string Defines the range of the baseline (in the above defined time units). Longer baseline results more accurate calibration.
K+ Steps Ranges KStepsRanges string Enter a list of range definitions for the duration of the K+-steps (in the above defined time units), including the MDC treatment.
[K+]ec Steps (mM;mM) KStepsConcentrations string Extracellular (ec) K+ concentrations corresponding to the above defined steps, including MDC, in mM. Use the Wizard tab to calculate concentrations from added volumes.
kP kP real Previously measured value of kp
CDC Range CDCRange string The range of Complete Depolarization Cocktail addition (in the above defined time units).
Take maximum of CDC Range CDCMax boolean If set yes, the maximum FLIPR intensity within the CDC Range is taken as zero calibration value (it error is the local SD of the range). Otherwise mean is calculated.
Quality control by propagated error of baseline QCPMPrest boolean Removes traces where the estimated SE of baseline is greater than the threshold below. Requires error propagation.
Limit SE of baseline (mV) QCPMPrestMaxSE real Traces where the SE of resting ΔψP parameter is larger than this number are removed.
fP0 Training Range fP0TrainingXRange string The neural network will be trained with data in this range. Analyzed data must stay in this range for valid results.

[K+]ic+PD Training Range KICplusPDTrainingXRange string The neural network will be trained with data in this range. Analyzed data must stay in this range for valid results. [K+]ic+PD is the denominator of the Goldman equation.
ΔψP Training Range PMPTrainingRange string The neural network will be trained with data in this range. Analyzed data must stay in this range for valid results.
Maximal Number of Examples trainingExamples integer A four-dimensional data set using the above independent values will be built approximately with this maximal number of elelments. The actual count will be less due to constraints.
Maximal Training Rounds trainingRounds integer Maximum number of trainig rounds (epochs) for the neural network. Training is performed at first use of this method, and if the above parameters are changed.
Neural Network Type netType string This defines the architecture of the neural network.
Error Estimation Type netErrType string How the error committed by the neural network calculated.
Training Noise trainingNoise real Gaussian Noise will be added to the training data set with this standard deviation in baseline normalized fluroescence units.
Description:
This method calculates plasma membrane potential (ΔψP) time course by only assuming the value of kP and allowing for ion permeabilities other than K+, using a neural network to calculate the baseline potential. Fluorescence of the FLIPR Membrane Potential Kit from Molecular Devices (aka PMPI, plasma membrane potential indicator) is calibrated. The model used to calculate ΔψP assumes that the plasma membrane permeability for ions other than K+ is significant. The extracellular concentration of these ions is either constant, or are replaced for K+ (e.g. Na+). Furthermore, the model is also compatible by the presence of a constant voltage offset injected by electrogenic ion pumping during K-steps.
The neural network with the selected parameters is trained when the calibration is performed for the first time, or after any change to the neural network or training parameters.The error of calculation of the baseline ΔψP may be calcualted with Monte Carlo simulation taking the noise of the fluorescence traces in account. However, it cannot account for error due to deviation from the model.
The redistribution of FLIPR is relatively fast and the exact value of kP has little effect unless very fast oscillations are looked. Therefore, in many cases the kP=0.38 determined on hippocampal neurons can be used.
Required experimental protocol: any time lapse, followed by establishment of K-equilibrium potential, at least 3 additions or replacements with high K+-medium (or 2 with no error estimation) and finally complete depolarization.
The cells have to be able to maintain a constant hyperpolarized ΔψP before starting K+-steps. Do not use this method if ΔψP depolarizes substantially when adding MDC.
