Researchers find new ways to image nerve cells
Scientists are using laser light, ballooning tissue, and innovative genetic tricks to uncover the secrets of neurons. By combining technological advances in microscopy and cell biology, researchers have been able to image intricate details of individual nerve cells in fruit flies and mice.
This new technique represents a big step towards understanding how the brain operates and how nerve cells can be studied individually.
