Researchers measure baseline activity of single neurons
Our brains are complicated webs of billions of neurons, constantly transmitting information across synapses, and this communication underlies our every thought and movement.
But what happens to the circuit when a neuron dies? Can other neurons around it pick up the slack to maintain the same level of function?
Indeed they can, but not all neurons have this capacity, according to new research from the University of Chicago. By studying several neuron pairs that innervate distinct muscles in a fruit fly model, researchers found that some neurons compensate for the loss of a neighboring partner.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A carriage horse suffered a minor injury after it got spooked in downtown Charleston.
According to Old South Carriage Company, the horse, named Vern, got spooked after seeing heavy equipment on Tradd Street and Lenwood Boulevard. Officials said the horse was training and the carriage he was pulling had no passengers except for the driver and two employees.
