A growing body of researchers is utilizing optical imaging to monitor activity in the brain. One type of optical imaging, two-photon calcium imaging, has been widely adopted for its ability to record ...

The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in real time could reveal how the brain processes sensation and guides behavior ...

The team discovered that these regions are neither completely locked in sync nor entirely independent. Instead, they operate ...

Researchers have developed a calcium sensor for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that they hope can one day track electrical activity in neurons deep in living brains. The tool potentially ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a calcium indicator, or sensor, that can overcome one of the main problems associated with a technique that is used to visualize, or map the activity of individual ...

This article presents a carefully described technique with some tips on successful imaging of calcium with Fura-2 AM in the ventral spinal motor neurons of the spinal cord. 1. Preparing Enriched ...

A new calcium indicator called Calcium Green FlAsH allows researchers to monitor rapid and localized calcium dynamics in the cell. Got calcium? It's not just for strong bones. Calcium is an important ...
