Capturing activated neurons and synapses

Publication date: Available online 30 December 2019Source: Neuroscience ResearchAuthor(s): Jung-Eun Choi, Jiwon Kim, Jinhyun KimAbstractAn important yet very challenging goal of neuroscience is to understand how brain activity drives cognition and behavior. Many useful tools have been developed to study neurons and synapses, the fundamental units of brain activity. Here, we review recently developed methods to visualize and manipulate active neurons and synapses, providing useful and compelling information about functional neuronal circuitry.
