Neurons and glia are functionally organized into circuits and higher-order structures that allow the precise information processing required for complex behaviors. To better understand the structure and function of the brain, we must understand synaptic connectivity, action potential generation and propagation, as well as well-orchestrated molecular signaling. Recently, dramatically improved sensors for voltage, intracellular calcium, and neurotransmitters/modulators, combined with advanced microscopy provide new opportunities forin vivodissection of cellular and circuit activity in awake, behaving animals. This review focuses on the current trends in genetically encoded sensors for molecules and cellular events and their potential applicability to the study of nervous system in health and disease.
