Özet
Calcium ion (Ca2+) is the most prominent secondary messenger of physiological cellular signals and ion channels research (Moeder et al. 2019). Neurotransmission, muscle contraction and fertilization are only a few of the physiological properties that make calcium ion important in most eukaryotic cells (Pharris et al.  2018). The extracellular calcium concentration is 1-3 mM whereas the intracellular concentration is around 80-100 nM. This tremendous difference is tightly controlled by dozens of different ion channels embedded in the membrane (Van Hook et al.  2019). Activation of these channels causes calcium ions to entry into the cell with density gradient. This produce the calcium signal. It is very important to control that prolonged elevation of intracellular calcium concentration due to channelopathies in ion channels due to various nervous system diseases because it activates caspase cascades leading to permanent damage and apoptosis. In this respect, the calcium indicators are unrivaled in terms of taking clear results by photographing all the points in these steps from the stage they were developed to the final stages. The use of these indicators to address the roles of these ion channels in terms of their contribution to the pathogenesis of neurological diseases has been an indispensible method of molecular analysis in recent years (Xu and Dong, 2019). In this presentation, we will discuss the chemical structures of calcium indicators, their contribution to the examination of cellular signaling pathways, their advantages and disadvantages in the investigation of ion channels in neurological diseases.
