Researchers at Stanford University in California have devised a fluorescence-activated cell-sorting method for isolating distinct neural stem and progenitor cell types from human brain tissue. The markers used in the study ...
Imagine trying to navigate an unfamiliar city but you've lost your smartphone. You don't have a map. And the street signs are in a foreign language. This is how neuroscientists feel about studying the brain.
