Mainly the problem is that they\u2019re so darn small, and packed so tightly, and connect in so many places at once, that it\u2019s hard to tell where anything\u2019s going. We have ways of imaging the brain at various levels, but each is highly limited in its own way.<\/p>\n<p>This new technique addresses several of the main problems. It\u2019s called magnified analysis of proteome, or (conveniently) MAP. The summary from lead researcher Kwanghun Chung makes it sound almost too good to be true.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2016\/07\/26\/this-new-brain-scanning-technique-is-literally-mind-expanding\/\">https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2016\/07\/26\/this-new-brain-scanning-te...expanding\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This amazing!
