New method highlights activity in zebrafish brains
A new technique gives researchers a window into the constellation of neurons that fire as zebrafish larvae swim in a dish.

Autism researchers are sharpening their statistical tools to make sense of the growing pool of autism genes.
These short reports from our reporter, Jessica Wright, give you the inside scoop on developments at the 2015 American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting.
Using a sugar alcohol found in fruit, researchers have concocted a new chemical cocktail for making brains transparent.
A 3D printer makes brains out of bio-ink, and researchers debate the number of types of neurons.
A mathematical model of the brain’s circuits shows how neurons stuck in overdrive could produce symptoms of autism. The model may reveal how autism-linked behaviors arise from underlying biology.
A cluster of neurons helps monkeys cooperate, and a human gene makes a mouse brain look like a person’s.
A new microscopy technique creates colorful three-dimensional images of brain activity in awake mice.
Researchers have repurposed a technique called SNAP-tag labeling to illuminate and manipulate subsets of neurons in mice.
The colorful brain maps created with diffusion imaging — a technique that uses the flow of water as a proxy for nerve tracts — are unlikely to represent the brain’s anatomy with accuracy, says a new study.
