Tiny Probe Enables Simultaneous Measurement and Manipulation of Deep-Brain Neurons

A new technology allows scientists to simultaneously measure and manipulate the activity of neurons located deep within the brain. The development could lead to a greater understanding of neural circuits and neurological conditions.

The technology, co-developed by scientists at University College London (UCL), utilizes a tiny probe to access deep-brain neurons. This allows researchers to both record the activity of these neurons and manipulate them at the same time. Scientists believe this new method could be transformative in the study of neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.
