Transparent Squid: A Breakthrough for Brain Research
Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, have successfully engineered a transparent squid using genetic engineering.
They are so strikingly see-through. It changes the way you interpret what’s going on in this animal, being able to see completely through the body
This breakthrough is significant for brain research, as it allows scientists to study the squid's internal anatomy without obstruction.
The team, including researcher Caroline Albertin, has made it possible to observe the squid's inner workings, making it an invaluable tool for future studies.
