- Description: The single-wavelength genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECI), GCaMP3, was genetically engineered to have an increase dynamic range to detect action potentials several fold greater than the original. The improved GCaMP5 sensors have effectively been studied in neurons and astrocytes in multiple model organisms including mouse, Caenorhabditis, Drosophila and zebrafish.
