A new way to capture the brain’s electrical symphony.
How voltage readings from individual neurons could power the next revolution in neuroscience.
Embed fluorescent, voltage-indicating proteins right into the cell membranes of neurons. Voltage imaging can also record electrical chatter between many neurons at once, and then average those signals across large chunks of brain tissue. This helps researchers to study the brain’s electrical activity across different spatial scales.
