Voltage-sensitive dye Glowing thoughts RUB
... Dirk Jancke has given the phrase “a light-bulb moment” a whole new meaning. In his laboratory he turns the activity of brain cells into light, using fluorescent dyes with a particular attribute: They change their spectral properties in response to voltage changes. That means, if a brain cell is acti ...
