Movie 1
-
Mitochondrial movement in motor axons. Single axonal mitochondria are visualized, and both anterograde and retrograde movements can be observed. Notice that the mitochondrial flow rates differ in different synaptic branches.
Movie 2
-
The delivery of mitochondria during tetanic stimulation. The actual time of recording was 10 min, but this movie consists of 60 frames with a 10-s interval between each frame. Frames of the selected area had a 1.1-s scanning time per section, and were projected from a stack of 10 optical sections (0.5 µm/section). During tetanic stimulation, mitochondrial movement can be both anterograde and retrograde, and both are shown. Notice the different destinations of anterograde mitochondria when they reach the synaptic terminal.
