Princeton University neuroscientists put sensors in the brains of mice, then hooked them up to a virtual reality maze in order to study neurological activity of animals in motion. Wired explains the experiment: The setup allows for real-time, almost-real-motion tracking of single neurons. That feat has eluded researchers who have a fuzzy, general understanding of brain systems, but little knowledge of how individual cells actually work.
