ARISING FROM: A. Legaria et al., Nature Neuroscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41593-022-01152-z (2022). Calcium fiber photometry is a popular technique for recording the activity of neuronal populations defined by their gene expression or connectivity. In a recent study, Legaria et al., present evidence that the calcium signal recorded with fiber photometry primarily reports local fluctuations in neuropil Ca2+, rather than somatic Ca2+ influx corresponding to neural firing, as has been assumed by the field. This raises the question of whether fiber photometry transients are a valid measure of the propagation of information from neural soma to their axons. We addressed this question directly, recording coincident activity from both the somato-dendritic region and downstream axons of striatal neural populations. Our findings demonstrate that calcium events are reliably propagated to axons, supporting the interpretation that these events reflect neuronal firing.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
