Scientists map the brain’s hidden wiring using RNA barcodes in major breakthrough
Researchers have developed a powerful new way to map how brain cells connect by tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes." We are approaching the brain the same way," said study leader Boxuan Zhao, a professor of cell and developmental biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Potential To Transform Alzheimer's and Brain Disease Research Because it is both fast and scalable, Connectome-seq could significantly accelerate research into neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric conditions and other brain disorders.
