Ubuchopho buqukethe ama-neurons acishe abe yizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-86 ahlanganisa ndawonye ukuxhumana okungama-100, noma ama-synapses. Iseli ngalinye lidlala indima ethile, isiza izicubu ezihambayo, zizwe okuphakathi, zefomu nokuningi. Ngenxa yenani lama-neurons nokuxhumeka, ososayensi kunzima ukuthola ukuthi uhlelo luvuselela kanjani ukucabanga noma ukuziphatha.
Manje ososayensi baseColombia bathuthukise indlela ye-neuropal. Isebenzisa izindlela zofuzo zama-neurons "imibala" ngemibala ye-fluorescent. Futhi futhi okokuqala ngqa ukuvumela ososayensi ukuba bakhombe yonke i-neuron ohlelweni lwezinzwa zesilwane. Futhi futhi ibhalisa lonke uhlelo lwezinzwa olusebenzayo.
Ukuze ucwaninge, ososayensi badale izinhlelo ezimbili. Omunye ukhomba wonke ama-neurons ezithombeni ezinemibala emibalabala. Idizayini yesibili yombala ofanele ngezindlela ezingaba khona zokuhlonza zanoma yiluphi uhlobo lwamaseli noma izicubu kunoma yimuphi umzimba ovumela ukuthi izikhonzi zofuzo. Ososayensi baphawule ukuthi indlela ingasetshenziswa hhayi ukubhaliswa kweseli kuphela, kepha futhi nokuthola ubukhona noma ukungabikho kwalezi zifutho ezithile esitokisini.
Iqembu lenze uchungechunge lokuhlolwa okuphumelelayo ngezimpethu ze-Caenorhabditis Eleans (C. Elegans). Imvamisa isetshenziswa ocwaningweni lwebhayoloji. Ososayensi bakwazile ukukhomba yonke i-neuron ngayinye ebuchosheni be-worm. Imininingwane yomsebenzi ashicilelwe kuma-cell magazine.
"Ngokumangazayo ukubuka uhlelo lwezinzwa lukonke futhi ubona ukuthi wenzani," kusho u-Oliver Hobert, omunye wababhali ocwaningweni, "kusho uHelert, ongomunye wababhali, omunye wababhali, u-Oliver Hobert wathi:" Ngokumangazayo ukubuka uhlelo lwezinzwa lukonke futhi lubona ukuthi wenzani, "kusho u-Oliver Hobert, omunye wababhali, omunye wababhali, omunye wababhali, omunye wababhali u-Oliver wathi: Ubuye wengeza ukuthi izithombe ezidaliwe zamangala yiqembu: kuvela izindawo ezinemibala ekhanyayo emzimbeni wesibungu "njengamalambu kaKhisimusi ngobusuku obumnyama."
Abaphenyi bathi ukuphumelela kwabo kungasibekela maduze lelo phutha ukuthi indlela eyenziwe yaba khona. Ngaphambi kokushicilela kuma-cell magazine, u-Oliver Hobert no-Eviarar Yemini bakhiphe i-neuropal ngomphakathi wesayensi. Ozakwabo sebevele bethule izifundo eziningana ezibonisa usizo lwaleli thuluzi.
"Amandla okubona ama-neurons noma ezinye izinhlobo zamangqamuzana asebenzisa umbala zingasiza ososayensi ukuba baqonde ukubandakanyeka kwengxenye yengxenye ngayinye yohlelo lwebhayoloji, kusho uYemini. "Ngakho-ke uma kukhona okungahambi kahle ngohlelo, kungasiza ekuboneni lapho kwehluleka khona ukwehluleka."
