New tool offers snapshots of neuron activity FLARE technique can reveal which cells respond during different tasks Date: June 26, 2017 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology ... Rapid labeling.

The very label "neuron doctrine" implies that neither Golgi nor Ramón y Cajal imagined that these cells had any information-processing function. For most of the 20th century, ...

Our technique, single-neuron labeling with inducible Cre-mediated knockout (SLICK), is achieved by coexpressing a drug-inducible form of Cre recombinase and a fluorescent protein in a small ...

Being able to label and then manipulate sets of neurons that are active during specific tasks opens up a wide range of studies that have been previously impossible, according to Dr. Tye.

Armed with these details of steady-state tau levels, Sato and colleagues set out to track tau kinetics using stable isotope labeling kinetics (SILK). The researchers added 13 C-leucine to the neuron ...

A team of MIT and Stanford University researchers has developed a way to label neurons when they become active, essentially providing a snapshot of their activity at a moment in time.
