Direct recordings from the neurons of live mice showed the same pattern: Animals that had gone through a stressful procedure had more bursting cells in the lateral habenula. (sciencemag.org)
After detecting an initial burst from the source in 2012, the team looked again in May and June last year, finding 10 more bursts sporadically scattered through the new data. (scientificamerican.com)
The VLA and other facilities will also prove crucial to further studies of the repeating Arecibo FRB as researchers seek to detect more bursts and better understand the nature of the source. (scientificamerican.com)
