Barcoding the Visual Cortex

Caption

The large, triangular-shaped central area identifies the primary visual cortex in mouse. By barcoding 591 neurons in this region, the team used MAPseq to discover patterns of their projections to nearby higher visual cortical areas. Each of the latter is identified in this calibration image, which registers the brain's reaction to two different kinds of visual stimuli (registering in pink and green fluorescence).
