Virus, Zebrafish Enable Scientists to Map the Living Brain

Caption

A virus and a zebrafish are helping scientists map the living brain. 'You can kinda draw a diagram and see how cells within it are connected in a functioning brain,' said Dr. Albert Pan, neuroscientist at the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University. 'This will help us see how wiring is laid and how it functions.'
