The new approach, described May 18 in Nature Methods, could also help neuroscientists learn more about the biological basis of brain disorders. e don really know

neuroscientists need new tools that will let them probe the brain more deeply and in greater detail, says Alan Jasanoff,

Neuroscientists believe there are 20 to 30 types of these specialized neurons, known as retinal ganglion cells,

A new study from MIT neuroscientists has made some headway on this daunting task. Using a computer algorithm that traces the shapes of neurons and groups them based on structural similarity,

Neuroscientists have identified at least nine types of ganglion cells with distinct functions, structures, and genetic makeup.

Now, for the first time, MIT neuroscientists have mapped noninvasively this flow of information in the human brain with unique accuracy,

For the first time MIT neuroscientists have observed the neural activity that appears to produce this disordered thinking. The researchers found that mice lacking the brain protein calcineurin have hyperactive brainwave oscillations in the hippocampus
