By selectively manipulating the different types of neurons in this region, they found that one set of neurons controlled pursuit, and another controlled the kill. (thescienceexplorer.com)
He can also give different types of neurons different channels by adding specific genetic handles to the channel DNA. (scientificamerican.com)
The hope is that this new technology can also be used to study the links between other types of neurons, physiology and behavior. (frogheart.ca)
