Diary of a lab rat

摘要

For more than a decade, I have been I reporting on the big advances in neuroscience. I have talked to the top names, attended their conferences, read their papers and visited their labs, but I have never been on the receiving end of their work -until now. Earlier this year, I volunteered to become effectively blind for a week, as part of a study to test what happens to a brain when it is suddenly deprived of light.
