Using two-photon photorelease, photobleaching and fluorescence imaging, the diffusions! neck resistance for small molecules is measured for CA1 pyramidal cell spines. From diffusional relaxation times, electrical spine neck resistances were estimated to be al most 150 Mii and therefore too small to modulate synaptic currents effectively.
