Microscopic imaging techniques have enabled scientists
to delve deep into the brain of a living animal to see how visual
circuitry works.
By combining two imaging methods, researchers at Harvard Medical School in
Massachusetts produced time-lapse images that gave them a close-up look at
the inner workings of the brain -- an achievement that could improve
understanding of complex illnesses like epilepsy, Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's disease.
"Put simply, this technique allows us to see the brain seeing," R. Clay
Reid, professor of neurobiology and the lead researcher said Wednesday.
"It's an entirely new way of looking at brain function."
Reid and his team tracked for the first time the responses of neurons in
the brains of rats simultaneously as they produced vision in the animals.
