MCA: A Multicellular analysis Calcium Imaging toolbox for ImageJ.

ABSTRACT: Functional imaging using genetically encoded indicators, such as GCaMP, has become a foundational tool for in vivo experiments and allows for the analysis of cellular dynamics, sensory processing, and cellular communication. However, large scale or complex functional imaging experiments pose analytical challenges. Many programs have worked to create pipelines to address these challenges, however, most platforms require proprietary software, impose operational restrictions, offer limited outputs, or require significant knowledge of various programming languages, which collectively can limit utility. To address this, we designed MCA (a Multicellular Analysis toolkit) to work with ImageJ, a widely used open-source software which has been the standard image analysis platform for the last 30 ye
