Human brain consists of approximately 86 billion neurons or nerve cells. Although, there is still much we don’t know about how neurons work together to give rise to thought or behavior.
Comprehensively resolving neuronal identities in whole-brain images is a significant challenge. But, thanks to a new technique developed by Columbia scientists, it is possible to identify every neuron in a worm’s brain.
The technique called NeuroPAL (a Neuronal Polychromatic Atlas of Landmarks) uses genetic methods…
