Genetically engineered proteins enable scientists to watch live brain cell circuits spark and fire

Genetically engineered proteins enable scientists to watch live brain cell circuits spark and fire
Neurology News & Neuroscience News from Medical News Today

Scientists used fruit flies to show for the first time that a new class of genetically engineered proteins can be used to watch nerve cell electrical activity in live brains. The results, published in Cell, suggest these proteins may be a promising new tool for mapping brain cell activity in multiple animals and for studying how neurological disorders disrupt normal nerve cell signaling...
