CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, June 27 -- The Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued the following news on June 26:
When neurons fire an electrical impulse, they also experience a surge of calcium ions. By measuring those surges, researchers can indirectly monitor neuron activity, helping them to study the role of individual neurons in many different brain functions.
One drawback to this technique is the crosstalk generated by the axons and dendrites that extend from n . . .
