Robot reveals the inner workings of brain cells: Automated way to record electrical activity inside neurons in the living brain

Monday, May 7, 2012 - 11:31 in Biology & Nature

Researchers have developed a way to automate the process of finding and recording information from neurons in the living brain. The researchers have shown that a robotic arm guided by a cell-detecting computer algorithm can identify and record from neurons in the living mouse brain with better accuracy and speed than a human experimenter.
