Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Single-cell recordings involve measuring the electrical activity of individual neurons. This technique has been instrumental in identifying neurons that respond specifically to certain types of stimuli or actions, such as those "tuned" to particular body movements. This has been a significant finding in neuroscience, helping to understand how specific parts of the brain are involved in processing different types of information and coordinating various bodily functions.
