...skin, she said. When that project showed promising results in mouse trials, the director of the bioengineering department at the time challenged the researchers to apply a similar approach to glucose. Though they were initially skeptical of the project’s feasibility, Clark and her team now hope to begin animal testing in a few weeks. According to Clark, one concern that has been voiced about the technology is whether glucose measurements taken from the skin are as accurate as those taken from the blood.

A connectome’s map is built by developing pictures of individual...
