The effect of the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator dye Fura-2 on Ca2+ dynamics was studied in proximal apical dendrites of neocortical layer V and hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in rat brain slices using somatic whole-cell recording and a charge-coupled device camera. A single action potential evoked a transient increase of intradendritic calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)) that was reduced in size and prolonged when the Fura-2 concentration was increased from 20 to 250 mu M. Extrapolation to zero Fura-2 concentration suggests that ''physiological'' transients at 37 degrees C have large amplitudes (150-300 nM) and fast decays (time constant
