Imaging and Analysis of Presynaptic Calcium Influx in Cultured Neurons Using synGCaMP6f

Presynaptic Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) is a key step in synaptic transmission that links action potential (AP)-derived depolarization to vesicle release. However, investigation of presynaptic Ca2+ influx by patch clamp recordings is difficult due to the small size of...
