Abstract
SummaryGenetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) are widely used to measure calcium transients in neuronal somata and processes, and their use enables the determination of action potential temporal series in a large population of neurons. Here, we generate a transgenic mouse line expressing a highly sensitive green GECI, G-CaMP9a, in a Flp-dependent manner in excitatory and inhibitory neuronal subpopulations downstream of a strong CAG promoter. Combining this reporter mouse with viral or mouse genetic Flp delivery methods produces a robust and stable G-CaMP9a expression in defined neuronal populations without detectable detrimental effects. In vivo two-photon imaging reveals spontaneous and sensory-evoked calcium transients in excitatory and inhibitory ensembles with cellular resolution. Our results show that this reporter line allows long-term, cell-type-specific investigation of neuronal activity with enhanced resolution in defined populations and facilitates dissecting complex dynamics of neural networks in vivo.
