Visualized: a fish brain lights up while on the prowl (video)

Visualized fish neurons light up while on the prowl

You wonder what happens in the head of a fish? Although we will not develop telepathy diving in the short term, Saitama University now we can see the activity in the rough. The researchers found that the injection of zebrafish larvae with green fluorescent protein provides a sound and light show every time your neurons fire, they illustrate very clearly that only the parts of the brain are active in a given situation, and pursue a paramecium feeding. The method is more efficient and sustainable use of dyes, and also provides additional information: scientists can clearly identify the neural pathway when the points zebrafish, and reacts to its prey. Since the protein is important for humans, therefore, their longevity may eventually lead to better drug tests long showing the relationship of cause and effect. But do not expect much in the way of mental fireworks.
