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???

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.

The answer will be :
It works! In mice
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.
