New research utilizing advanced imaging to track one million neurons in mice uncovers that over 90% of brain activity, previously considered noise, contains significant signals, revealing the mammalian brain’s underestimated complexity. Credit: SciTechDaily.com
Using a custom technique developed in the Vaziri lab, the researchers discovered that more than 90 percent of the dimensions they observed in neural activity were not connected to any spontaneous movements or sensory inputs in the mice studied.
Having demonstrated the efficacy of the tool, the lab became interested in using it to address fundamental questions in neurobiology. “We had a tool that could allow us to make discoveries that other technologies could not,” Vaziri says. “So we tried to ask questions that only such a tool could answer.
The facility is akin to an astronomical observatory, where visiting scientists will be able to conduct research on powerful instruments. “The idea is that people will be supported by staff as they conduct research using the microscopes in the center,” he says. “It’s something we want to open up to the community within Rockefeller but also to neuroscientists from around the world.”
