How are networks of neurons connected to make functional circuits? This has been a long standing question in neuroscience. To answer this fundamental question, researchers from Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School developed a new way to study these circuits and in the process learn more about the connections between them.
“Neural networks are extensive, but the connections between them are really small,” says Wei-Chung Allen Lee, Ph.D., of the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center at Boston…
