Video: Near-Whole Brain Activity Map in Fish | MIT Technology Review

Video: Near-Whole Brain Activity Map in Fish | MIT Technology Review: ...researchers reported that they were able to watch the individual activity of nearly all the neurons in a fish’s brain at the same time...

Now, HHMI has put together a video about the work, and it’s worth a look. Neuroscientist Philipp Keller explains how some of the technology behind the experiment works. Best of all, we get to see more of the complex flickering constellations of brain cells—fish thoughts in action. This work is the first time researchers have been able to look at the activity of nearly all neurons in a vertebrate brain.
