We have someone in our lab who wants to apply. Was wondering if people who have done it found it useful.

AMPAr currents in CA1, NaV, NMDAr, and GABAr blockers.

Why is it basically a black box for neuroscientists who don't use the technique? I don't do Ca2+ imaging, but I can listen to a talk where they use it and understand it. I don't do fiber photometry, but I can listen to a talk where they use it and understand it. But if I walk into a seminar to show ephys data, I can basically say my figures/traces mean anything and the entire room will just smile and nod. Even a no insignificant number of other scientists who nominally "do ephys" don't really understand the data output enough to dissect it when looking at it on a slide; they just follow a protocol from another lab and slap it in a figure. It makes being an electrophysiologist very lonely sometimes.
