Ingqondo iqulethe malunga ne-86 yeebhiliyoni ze-neurons ihlelo kunye malunga ne-100 uqhagamshelo yetriliyoni, okanye i-synaiais. Iseli nganye idlala indima ethile, inceda izihlunu ezihambayo, zive iinkumbulo eziphakathi, zefom kunye nokuninzi. Ngenxa yenani lee-neurons kunye nonxibelelwano, izazinzulu kunzima ukufumanisa ukuba inkqubo inika njani ukucinga okanye indlela yokuziphatha.
Ngoku izazinzulu zeColombian ziphuhlise indlela ye-neuropal. Isebenzisa iindlela zemfuza "ze" farons "i-neurons enemibala ye-fluorescent. Kwaye okwesihlandlo sokuqala ivumela izazinzulu ukuba zichonge zonke i-neuron kwinkqubo ye-nervous system. Kwaye kwakhona irhoxile yonke inkqubo yovalo kwisenzo.
Uphando, izazinzulu zenze iinkqubo ezimbini. Umntu uchonga zonke ii-neurons kwimifanekiso emibalabala. Uyilo lwesibini lombala ngeendlela zokuzazisa ezinokubakho kwalo naluphi na uhlobo lweeseli okanye izicubu kuwo nawuphi na umzimba ovumela ukuqhuba imfuza. Izazinzulu ziphawule ukuba le ndlela ingasetyenziswa kungekuphela nje ekubhaliseni kweseli, kodwa nokuchonga ubukho okanye ukungabikho kwezi ntlobo ezithile ezikwiseli.
Iqela lenze uthotho lovavanyo oluphumelelayo kunye neempethu ze-caenohabditis ze-Elegans (C. Elegans). Ihlala isetyenziswa kuphando lwebhayoloji. Izazinzulu zikwazile ukuchonga nganye nganye i-neuron kwingqondo yebusi. Iinkcukacha zomsebenzi abaye bapapashwa kwiphephabhuku le-seloki.
"Ngokumangalisayo ukubukela inkqubo yovalo kuko konke kwaye ubone ukuba wenza ntoni," watsho uOliver Hobert, omnye wababhali bophononongo. Wongeze ukuba imifanekiso edaliweyo yothuswa liqela: Iindawo ezinombala ezizezinye zivela emzimbeni wempethu "njengezibane zekrisimesi kubusuku obumnyama."
Abaphandi bathi iqhekeza labo lingenzeka kungekudala le nto yafunyanwa yindlela eyenziwe ngayo. Ngaphambi kokupapasha kwiphephancwadi laselokishi, uOliver Hobert no-Encitar yemimi wakhutshwa i-neuropal yoluntu lwezenzululwazi. Oogxa babo sele bebonisile izifundo ezininzi ezibonisa ukuba luncedo kwesi sixhobo.
"Ukukwazi ukuchonga ii-neurons okanye ezinye iintlobo zeseli usebenzisa umbala kunokunceda izazinzulu ziyiqonda indima yenxalenye nganye yenkqubo yenkqubo yendalo, utshilo wemi. "Ke ukuba kukho into engahambanga kakuhle ngenkqubo, inokunceda ukumisela apho ukungaphumi kwenzeke khona."
