Stretchable probe measures brain chemicals central to Parkinson’s, depression, and gut disease
A new string-like implant can monitor fluctuations in brain chemicals, like a fitness tracker for the brain.

Researchers @UCSF, led by neurosurgeon Edward Chang, MD, have used #Neuropixels probes to record activity from hundreds of individual neurons while participants listened to speech. Out today in @Nature, this study gives us a view into how the brain analyzes the sounds in words.
