University of Southern California researchers have captured on video the exact process through which proteins in the brain move throughout the neuron cells by making use of bioluminescent proteins from a jellyfish. The video offers a rare peek at how proteins, the brain's building blocks, are directed through neurons to renew its structure.

Jellyfish Proteins Help Researchers Capture Footage of Proteins' Movement in Brain Cell
University of Southern California researchers have captured on video the exact process through which proteins in the brain move throughout the neuron cells by making use of bioluminescent proteins from a jellyfish.
