Sculpted light captures brain activity

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A high-speed imaging technique that “sculpts” the 3-D distribution of light in a sample can resolve a single neuron in a living worm, opening possibilities for studying the function of the organism’s nervous system and pairing brain function to anatomy. A major aim of neuroscience today is to understand how an organism’s nervous system processes sensory input and generates behavior by observing the activity of cells across the entire brain. But to do this, scientists need detailed maps of how the nerve cells are wired in the brain as well as information on how...Read full article
