Dr. Xue Han Featured in The Brink
Dr. Xue Han was a co–corresponding author for “Population imaging of neural activity in awake behaving mice,” recently published in Nature and featured in The Brink. The paper reports a new technique that gives the clearest picture ever of brain cell activity. Using a voltage-sensing molecule that fluorescently lights up when brain cells are electrically active, researchers at BU and MIT have shown that they can see the activity of many more individual neurons than before as they fire inside the brains of mice.
