Pretend yоu аre scientist studying neurоns thаt аre grоwing in culture dish. You use Fura-2 to measure the intracellular calcium concentration of these neurons. You measure the fluorescence intensity at Time 1 and obtain a ratio based on the red trace below. Next, you puff a chemical onto the neurons. Immediately after the puff, at Time 2, you again measure the fluorescence intensity. At Time 2 you obtain a ratio based on the black trace. How did the chemical puff affect the neurons?
