It is necessary because calcium is very much involved in signaling pathways during the process of neurogenesis and at different stages of neuronal maturation. Calcium signaling pathways are important regulators for various neuronal functions including formation and maturation of neuronal circuits.
Malcolm Nobre Thank you for your answer. It then made me wonder, what result would you like to get with analyzing calcium? How much presence of calcium is good? Or is is enough that you detect calcium, regardless of the amount?
