First real-time view of developing neurons reveals surprises, say Stanford researchers

.... "We're looking at a dynamic process that nobody has ever seen before," Smith said. Understanding how neurons mature into their adult role goes beyond zebra fish and their ability to see their eventual planktonic prey.
