Scientists And Surgeons Team Up To Create Models Of Living Human Brain Cells
By rushing live brain cells from the operating room to the lab, scientists have been able to create three-dimensional models that reveal cells' electrical behavior and details about their shape.
Scientists in Seattle have created three-dimensional computer models of living human brain cells by studying tissue that is usually discarded during surgery.
The models, unveiled Wednesday by The Allen Institute for Brain Science, capture not only the shape and anatomy of living cells, but also the electrical signals they produce.
Until now, scientists have had to rely primarily on animals to study the
