NEW YORK, June 21 (TNSres) -- Rockefeller University issued the following news:
As a mouse explores its environment, millions of neurons across the brain fire in sync. To study only a small subsection at a time would be to miss the forest for the trees, but powerful microscopes capable of capturing the entire mouse brain simultaneously are too heavy to mount on a moving mouse.
Now, a new study in Nature Biomedical Engineering presents an innovative solution to this prob . . .
