Chemical investigations -- early concept brain research

The video discusses the use of electrode arrays in the hippocampus to study neural activity related to memory and spatial navigation. It introduces the Dana device, which aims to measure neural activity and neuromodulation simultaneously. The research seeks to understand how neuromodulators like dopamine affect neural coordination, with potential applications in treating disorders like Parkinson's and schizophrenia. The ultimate goal is to develop better drugs and enhance our understanding of brain function.

What fundamental processes are being investigated through the analysis of neural activity?

In what ways could the new tool help in understanding neurochemical disorders?
