Scientists Armed With Lasers Capture 3D Images of Neurons 'Firing' in the Brain in Research Breakthrough

With ANY semblance of thinking at all in our stroke medical professionals they could see using this to find out how neurogenesis works and this make it completely repeatable.

A laser technology startup has captured the clearest ever images of nerves "firing" in the brain, representing a “huge step forward” in the understanding of disorders like autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson’s Disease.
The Glasgow-based company M Squared developed the Aurora laser microscope to accurately image large biological structures at a cellular level, with the cutting-edge microscope capable of capturing 3D images 500-times faster than conventional technology.
Graeme Malcolm, CEO and founder of M Squared, tells Newsweek that creating images of neural connections with this level of detail could lead to breakthroughs in understanding neurodegenerative disorders.
