  "summary": "Recent advances in fluorescent indicators and optical microscopy now enable in vivo synaptic imaging of glutamate, which transmits the majority of signals between neurons in the brain. Extracting fluorescence signals from these recordings is complicated by the minuscule scale and dense clustering of synapses on dendrites, as well as brain motion in behaving animals. Here we present the Glutamate…",
