Unprecedented Simultaneous Recording of the Activity of One Million Neurons Answers Fundamental Question of Neuroscience
New research utilizing advanced imaging to track one million neurons in mice uncovers that over 90% of brain activity, previously considered noise, contains significant signals, revealing the mammalian brain’s underestimated complexity. Credit: SciTechDaily.comThe mammalian brain is a web of densely interconnected neurons, yet one of the mysteries in neuroscience is how tools that capture relatively few components of brain activity have allowed scientists to predict behavior in mice. It is hard to believe that much of the…
