Innovative Technique Tracks Gene Activity in Real-Time Brain

Researchers have developed a new method to map gene activity in the living human brain using RNA and DNA from electrodes implanted in epilepsy patients. This approach links molecular data with electrical seizure recordings, potentially improving epilepsy surgery precision and offering insights into other neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The study, a collaboration between FutureNeuro and international partners, represents a significant advancement in understanding brain disorders at the molecular level.
