Calcium (Ca2+) Imaging

Calcium imaging is an important tool in brain research. It helps scientists see and measure when brain cells are active by tracking changes in calcium levels inside the cells. Special dyes or proteins light up when they come into contact with calcium, making it easy to see these changes. This brain imaging technique helps researchers understand how brain cells communicate, study how brain disorders like epilepsy or Alzheimer's affect the brain, and test new medicines to see how they influence brain activity.
