Glutamate is the primary molecule that neurons use to communicate with each other. Previously, scientists have mostly recorded when neurons fire output signals, but now with a new glutamate indicator, they can record the many inputs that causes cells to fire. 🧵

Brain-wide neuron tracing reveals that the mysterious mouse claustrum is highly connected to the rest of the brain. In this extreme example, several neurons wrap their axons entirely around the cortex, forming a crown-like structure. 👑 More: #SciShots
