In situ cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) provides advantages for high-resolution visualization of macromolecular complexes within their cellular context. Although correlation with fluorescent labeling allows cryo-ET to target specific cellular regions, it does not adequately reflect the electrophysiological properties of heterogeneous neurons. To bridge high-resolution molecular imaging with electrophysiological properties of individual neurons, we develop a Correlative Voltage Imaging and cryo-ET (CoVET) technique. The nondestructive nature of voltage imaging is compatible with cryo-ET, enabling a direct correlation between neuronal electrophysiology and molecular structures. Neurons are clustered based on their electrophysiological properties, allowing for single-cell-guided structural analysis using cryo-ET. We analyze the translational landscapes of individual neurons and find distinct structural characteristics and spatial networks among ribosomes from different electrophysiological clusters. Our results highlight the importance of the correlation between the electrophysiological properties and molecular structures. |
