- nigms_nihFlash! Flash! Each spark shows a nerve cell firing. This video, which won the 2016 FASEB BioArt contest, captures a brain in action. The scientists who created the video—Caitlin Vander Weele and Kay M. Tye—are studying brain circuitry and how it affects behavior. They use a small, head-mounted mini-microscope to see brain cell activity in mice as the animals scurry around, eat, drink, gnaw and engage in other rodent activities.
