Nature recently reported that for the first time, researchers have been able to image an entire vertebrate brain at the level of single cells. For this, they have used a larval Zebrafish that is genetically engineered to have their neurons fluoresce when nerve cells fire. By putting this fish under a special microscope, full brain activity can be recorded every 1.3 seconds. An hour of these recordings adds up to a Terabyte of data. Let’s take a look at some of this pretty data right here:
