New mapping approach lets scientists zoom in and out as the brain processes sound.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins have mapped the sound-processing part of the mouse brain in a way that keeps both the proverbial forest and the trees in view. Their imaging technique allows zooming in and out on views of brain activity within mice, and it enabled the team to watch brain cells light up as mice ‘called’ to each other. The results, which represent a step … Continue reading New mapping approach lets scientists zoom in and out as the brain processes sound.
