Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasensitive fluorescent proteins for imaging neuronal activity.

TL;DR: A family of ultrasensitive protein calcium sensors (GCaMP6) that outperformed other sensors in cultured neurons and in zebrafish, flies and mice in vivo are developed and provide new windows into the organization and dynamics of neural circuits over multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-brain functional imaging at cellular resolution using light-sheet microscopy

TL;DR: Light-sheet microscopy is used to record activity from the entire volume of the brain of the larval zebrafish in vivo at 0.8 Hz, capturing more than 80% of all neurons at single-cell resolution, demonstrating how this technique can be used to reveal functionally defined circuits across the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

An optimized fluorescent probe for visualizing glutamate neurotransmission

TL;DR: An intensity-based glutamate-sensing fluorescent reporter with signal-to-noise ratio and kinetics appropriate for in vivo imaging is described and its utility for visualizing glutamate release by neurons and astrocytes in increasingly intact neurological systems is validated.
