Fertilization calcium waves are a conserved trigger for animal development; however, genetic analysis of these waves has been limited due to the difficulty of imaging in vivo fertilization.

Simultaneous mesoscopic and two-photon imaging of neuronal activity in cortical circuits. [PDF]
Spontaneous and sensory-evoked activity propagates across varying spatial scales in the mammalian cortex, but technical challenges have limited conceptual links between the function of local neuronal circuits and brain-wide network dynamics. We present a

Simultaneous whole-animal 3D-imaging of neuronal activity using light field microscopy [PDF]
3D functional imaging of neuronal activity in entire organisms at single cell level and physiologically relevant time scales faces major obstacles due to trade-offs between the size of the imaged volumes, and spatial and temporal resolution.

High-Throughput Platform for Optoacoustic Probing of Genetically Encoded Calcium Ion Indicators
Summary: Functional optoacoustic (OA) imaging assisted with genetically encoded calcium ion indicators (GECIs) holds promise for imaging large-scale neuronal activity at depths and spatiotemporal resolutions not attainable with existing optical ...

Dendritic spike saturation of endogenous calcium buffer and induction of postsynaptic cerebellar LTP. [PDF]
The architecture of parallel fiber axons contacting cerebellar Purkinje neurons retains spatial information over long distances. Parallel fiber synapses can trigger local dendritic calcium spikes, but whether and how this calcium signal leads to plastic ...

Automatic cell segmentation by adaptive thresholding (ACSAT) for large-scale calcium imaging datasets [PDF]
Advances in calcium imaging have made it possible to record from an increasingly larger number of neurons simultaneously. Neuroscientists can now routinely image hundreds to thousands of individual neurons.

Calcium Sensor for Photoacoustic Imaging
We introduce a selective and cell-permeable calcium sensor for photoacoustics (CaSPA), a versatile imaging technique that allows for fast volumetric mapping of photoabsorbing molecules with deep tissue penetration. To optimize for Ca2+-dependent photoacoustic signal changes, we synthesized a selective metallochromic sensor with high extinction ...

Reading out a spatiotemporal population code by imaging neighbouring parallel fibre axons in vivo. [PDF]
The spatiotemporal pattern of synaptic inputs to the dendritic tree is crucial for synaptic integration and plasticity. However, it is not known if input patterns driven by sensory stimuli are structured or random.

Focus ion beam/scanning electron microscopy characterization of osteoclastic resorption of calcium phosphate substrates [PDF]
This article presents the application of dual focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) imaging for preclinical testing of calcium phosphates with osteoclast precursor cells and how this high-resolution imaging technique is able to reveal ...

Laser induced calcium oscillations in fluorescent calcium imaging
Phototoxicity is the most common problem investigators may encounter when performing live cell imaging. It develops due to excess laser exposure of cells loaded with fluorophores and can lead to often overlooked but significant artifacts, such as massive increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, which would make data interpretation problematic ...
