Attila Losonczy[edit]
- ... that Attila Losonczy's lab uses calcium and two-photon imaging to observe the activity of hundreds of neurons in the hippocampus of behaving mice?

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook mentions "calcium imaging" and so does the article, but not the source as far as I can see. The same is true of "two-photon microscopy". And looking at the hook, my first reaction was "what do the researchers do when the mouse misbehaves?" Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:51, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I added a citation for two-photon Ca2+ imaging. Behaving just means the mice are awake and performing a behavior experiment task. And the mice can't misbehave because they're headfixed (from the Science citation)... lol Pestújhely (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that Attila Losonczy's lab uses calcium and two-photon imaging to observe the activity of hundreds of neurons in the hippocampus of mice performing tasks?
The hook facts are now adequately sourced, the article is neutral and I did not detect any copyright issues. I have suggested ALT1 as a different (better?) way of describing the mice. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:23, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
