Robot Reveals the Inner Workings of Brain Cells

  Wow! Recently researchers at MIT and the Georgia institute of technology have developed a robotic arm that can identify and record information of the neurons in the living brain. The researchers said that when tested with a living mouse's brain the robotic arm, guided by a cell-detecting computer algorithm, could identify the neurons in the mouse's brain with better accuracy and speed than that of a human. Using this technology scientists will be able to classify the thousands of various cells in the brain, identify how they are linked to each other, and compare a diseased brain cell with a healthy one.
