Neurons (brain cells) communicate by passing electrical signals to each other across connections called synapses. By simulating the activity of individual synapses on a neuron, seen as deflections in this image for day 100 of #LMB365, Jake Watson in Ingo Greger’s group in Neurobiology can investigate the properties of information transfer between neurons.
