University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Summary:
Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA ?barcodes? to map how neurons connect,
capturing thousands of links with single-synapse precision.
The method transforms brain mapping into a sequencing task, making it faster and more scalable than traditional approaches.
In mice, it revealed surprising new connections between brain cells that were previously unknown.
This could open the door to earlier detection and targeted treatment of neurological diseases.
