50-year mystery solved as China’s nanotech camera captures neurons ‘kissing’
SMRTR summary
Chinese scientists developed the world's first nanotech camera capable of capturing neurons "kissing" during communication, resolving a 50-year debate about how brain cells transmit signals. Their revolutionary imaging system revealed a "kiss-shrink-run" process where synaptic vesicles briefly touch cell membranes within four milliseconds before detaching.
