Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgia Tech have automated the process of finding and recording information from cells in living brains. “Autopatching makes recording the electrical and circuit properties [of cells] straightforward and effortless for the operator,” said Craig Forest, one of the members of the research team. This technology “can be integrated with molecular analysis, such as gene expression measurement, and cell staining for shape, or morphology, measurement,” he said.
