PRESIDENT AND FALCON HELP LIGHT UP THE BRAIN

摘要

Glowing and fluorescent deep-sea creatures could reveal how the mind works. Bright bioluminescent and fluorescent proteins found in marine life, when attached to human cells, become light-emitting markers that could help map the brain. President Obama's newly announced, 'Brain Activity Map' project, gives impetus to the quest for understanding the human mind. Alzheimer's and other diseases of the mind, along with cancer, could benefit from tracing otherwise invisible nerve damage.
