This image combines the warm dissection method demonstrated by Shiwei Huang and Marylka Yoe Uusisaari in a paper in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience and commonly used opto-genetic techniques, where genes in neurons are engineered to fluoresce, allowing researchers to study neural activity over long periods of time.
