Abstract:
Functional multineuron calcium imaging(fMCI)is an optical recording technique to monitor neuron population action potentials in the spatiotemporal pattern by recording calcium signal changes in neurons.The review describes the technology of fMCI and its application prospect in neuropharmacology research.fMCI provides a kind of powerful tool to analyze various functions of brain and to research some central nervous system drug mechanism based on neural network.
