Carl Schoonover: How to look inside the brain

The video explores the evolution of neuroscience, from early visual system diagrams to modern techniques for studying brain structure and function. It highlights the Golgi stain's role in revealing neurons and their connections, likening them to computer circuits. Modern methods like green fluorescent protein and antibodies allow detailed visualization and molecular identification in neuroscience. These tools, derived from nature, have revolutionized our understanding of the brain.
