Observing Real-Time Brain Activity In Live Mice Could Lead To New Treatments For Neurodegenerative Diseases

If you want to read a mouse's mind, it takes some fluorescent protein and a tiny microscope implanted in the rodent's head. Stanford scientists have demonstrated a technique for observing hundreds of neurons firing in the brain of a live mouse, in real time, and have linked that activity to long-term information storage. The unprecedented work could provide a useful tool for studying new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
