Sensing calcium as it flows into neurons following firing can potentially track information flow throughout the brain's circuitry. Now, an MIT team has developed a calcium contrast agent for non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging detection. At top, a schematic shows how nanoparticles coated with two proteins (red and green) form mixed aggregates in the presence of calcium. The bottom panel shows ...
