Multiplex imaging relates quantal glutamate release to presynaptic Ca2+ homeostasis at multiple synapses in situ

How neurotransmitter release relates to presynaptic calcium dynamics is not fully understood. Here the authors develop an approach based on FLIM and optical quantal analysis for simultaneous imaging of calcium dynamics and glutamate release at presynaptic boutons.
