Follow that thought – a new powerful tool for tracking neuronal activity in the living brain

. As electrical signals travel along chains of neurons, each cell undergoes a dramatic shift in its internal calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration because specialized channels allow ions to flood into the cytoplasm. This shift provides a valuable indicator for tracking neural activity in real time, so scientists have developed several fluorescent protein-based Ca2+ indicators that …
