The story so far
Five outlets today describe a new technique for imaging electrical activity in the brains of larval zebrafish. The technique, called voltage imaging, captures electrical activity across the entire brain in real time. According to MIT News and nature.com, the system uses high-speed microscopy to record voltage changes in neurons distributed across multiple depths.
News-Medical and Radiology Business both describe the system's ability to capture seizures in real time. The Transmitter notes that the imaging platform can image neurons across multiple depths. The technique has so far been demonstrated only in larval zebrafish.
According to MIT News, the larval zebrafish's transparent brain and small size make it an ideal model for this type of imaging. However, the technique's applicability to larger or more complex brains remains unproven.

The obvious questions
What is voltage imaging?
Voltage imaging is a technique that captures electrical activity in neurons by recording voltage changes.
What is a larval zebrafish?
A larval zebrafish is a young zebrafish, a small freshwater fish often used in scientific research.
Why are larval zebrafish used in this research?
Larval zebrafish have transparent brains and are small, making them suitable for this type of imaging.
