Podsumowanie

Here we present a novel Ca²⁺-imaging approach using a bioluminescent reporter. This approach uses a fused construct GFP-aequorin which binds to Ca²⁺ and emits light, eliminating the need for light excitation. Significantly this method permits long continuous imaging, access to deep brain structures and high temporal resolution.
