Scientists at the Allen Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the US have created a special protein called iglusNFR4 through protein engineering technology. This is a molecular “glutamate indicator” that can be used to observe the communication process of neurons in the brain in real time. This result helps decipher the brain's hidden “language” and deepens understanding of how its complex neural circuits work. The relevant results were published in the new issue of “Nature · Method” magazine.
