fMCI is a functional imaging technique with multicell loading of calcium fluorophores. fMCI has unique advantages, including: i) recording en masse from hundreds of neurons in a wide area, ii) single-cell resolution, iii) identifiable location of neurons, and iv) detection of non-active neurons during the observation period
