Chromatic Bioluminescence as a Cellular Level Readout System of Neural Activity
This technique could be used to visualize neuronal activity in the brain, in nerves, or in ex vivo systems. Background: Some compounds can emit luminescence in response to changes in intracellular ion concentrations. Neuronal depolarization, and the generation of an action potential, involves an elevation in intracellular calcium, which causes the...
