I simply must know now: Could they do it with neurons in a brain?
Some absolutely crazy and insane experiments if this ability grows.
Could they edit an animal's brain? Can they teach things to animals???

How could they possibly? Neurons aren't floating point values that can be so easily perceived and changed. They don't strictly flow in consistent directions.

The answer will be :
It works! In mice
Do we have a way of reading an editing individual neuronal pathways at all? I thought we're stuck measuring general activation of broad areas.
