The paper introduces PinkyCaMP, a new red fluorescent calcium sensor with improved brightness, photostability, and compatibility with optogenetics and neurotransmitter imaging.

The paper uses fluorescent glutamate sensors to show that plume-like glutamate release events increase under metabolic stress, contributing to glutamate accumulation and excitotoxicity.

The paper introduces sDarken, a new family of genetically encoded serotonin sensors, demonstrating their effectiveness in imaging serotonin dynamics with high resolution.
