Spatial Distribution of Calcium Channels and Cytosolic Calcium Transients in Growth Cones and Cell Bodies of Sympathetic Neurons

Ca2+ imaging and single-channel recording were used to study the regulation of cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in local regions of frog sympathetic neurons. Digital imaging with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fura-2 demonstrated: (i) resting [Ca2+]i of 70-100 nM; (ii) significant increases in [Ca2+]i...
