We report a genetically encoded fluorescence lifetime sensor for protein kinase C (PKC) activity, named CKAR3, based on Forster resonance energy transfer. CKAR3 exhibits a 10-fold increased dynamic range compared to its parental sensors and enables in vivo imaging of PKC activity during animal behavior. Our results reveal robust PKC activity in a sparse neuronal subset in the motor cortex during locomotion, in part mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.

"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.
