Optical imaging of calcium dynamics using genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) is a powerful tool for systems neuroscience. The current state-of-the-art GECIs emit green light (green GECIs) and are derived from Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). Still, green fluorescence fails in several important experimental setups where tissue absorption is of concern, creating a need for red indicators.
Red GECIs may be used for:
