All-optical mapping of Ca2+ transport and homeostasis in dendrites Calcium mediates many important signals in dendrites. However, the basic transport properties of calcium in dendrites have been difficult to measure: …

All-optical mapping of calcium in neuronal dendrites using CapChR2 and red-light emitting calcium reporter. Consistent with previous results showing ~50-fold slower diffusion of calcium compared to bulk water. Interesting to see this approach develop further!
