Calcium imaging is a cool tool in neuroscience! It helps us see how brain cells are active in real-time by watching calcium ions move when these cells are activated.

Here’s why it’s so great:

• Non-invasive: It doesn’t harm the brain tissue, unlike some other methods.
• Spatial resolution: You can look at many brain cells working at the same time.
• Dynamic: It’s perfect for studying how groups of brain cells react to different things.

In short, calcium imaging helps us learn a lot about how the brain works!
