Harvard researchers are making use of “Brainbow,” a colorful new technique, to visualize the circuitry of the brain in new ways. The technique, detailed in this week’s issue of Nature, activates fluorescent proteins in neurons. The colors then combine to produce an array of more than 100 different shades. The new approach was discovered by a team led by Jeff W. Lichtman and Joshua R. Sanes, both professors in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology who teach MCB 80, “Neurobiology of Behavior...
