A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity. We started thinking: 'What if we could light up the brain from the inside?

A new bioluminescent tool allows neurons to glow on their own, letting scientists track brain activity without harmful lasers or fading signals. The advance makes it possible to watch individual brain ...

Deep inside the brain, every thought and memory begins with a burst of electrical activity. For years, scientists have tried to watch that activity in real time by shining lasers into the brain. Now a ...
