Spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity generate brain functions, such as perception, memory, and behavior. Four-dimensional (4-D: x, y, z, t) analyses of such neural activity will facilitate understanding of brain functions. However, conventional two-photon microscope systems observe single-plane brain tissue alone at a time with cellular resolution. It faces a trade-off between the spatial resolution in the x-, y-, and z-axes and the temporal resolution by a limited point-by-point scan speed. To overcome this trade-off in 4-D imaging, we developed a holographic two-photon microscope for dual-plane imaging. A spatial light modulator (SLM) provided an additional focal plane at a different depth. Temporal multiplexing of split lasers with an optical chopper allowed fast imaging of two different focal planes. We simultaneously recorded the activities of neurons on layers 2/3 and 5 of the cerebral cortex in awake mice in vivo. The present study demonstrated the proof-of-concept of dual-plane two-photon imaging of neural circuits by using the temporally multiplexed SLM-based microscope. The temporally multiplexed holographic microscope, combined with in vivo labeling with genetically encoded probes, enabled 4-D imaging and analysis of neural activities at cellular resolution and physiological timescales. Large-scale 4-D imaging and analysis will facilitate studies of not only the nervous system but also of various biological systems.
