Engineers record neurons to pinpoint synaptic links

Researchers created a 3D electrode array that maps the locations and activity of up to 1 million potential synaptic links in living brains. The system uses recordings of millisecond-scale evolution of electrical pulses in tens of thousands of neurons, allowing for dense and accurate mapping of brain circuits.
