One of the primary missions of neuroscience is to make connections between particular neurons in the brain and specific behaviors. (sciencedaily.com)
Yet a series of pioneering studies have demonstrated that it is possible to lure specific memories into particular neurons, at least in mice. (discovermagazine.com)
These tools enable researchers to genetically engineer fruit flies such that it's possible to activate particular neurons with light. (sciencedaily.com)
