They also applied it to human brain tissue collected by the Genotype - Tissue Expression (GTEx) Project, finding that they could a) identify expression signatures unique to neurons, glial cells, and other cell types in the brain (including rare types), and b) differentiate between closely related cell subtypes.

Using machine learning algorithms, they identified which parts of the data seemed to be the timing control signal between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala and zeroed in on the individual neurons involved in that circuit.

For example, a neuron originally firing to Whoopi Goldberg fired to a morph image between Goldberg and Bob Marley only when the subject identified the morphed image as Goldberg and remained silent when the subject said the very same image was Marley.

To gain an understanding of how electrical synapses specifically form between neurons, we are interested in determining which gap junctions identified in the reconstruction of the nervous system have UNC - 7 as a component, which other innexins contribute to these junctions, what determines specificity for forming complete channels, and how these gap junctions function to direct information flow in the nervous system.

To examine this hypothesis we will identify the molecular changes to astrocytes during the aging process and then determine how these changes in aging affect the synaptic connections between neurons.
