Connections Between Neurons Revealed By Calcium

A way to monitor how brain cells coordinate with each other to control specific behaviors, such as initiating movement or detecting an odor was developed by a team led by MIT neuroscientists. The researchers' new imaging technique, based on the detection of calcium ions in neurons, could help them map the brain circuits that perform such functions. It could also provide new insights into the origins of autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other psychiatric ...
