Looking Back at a Decade-Old Atomic-Scale Neuroscience Breakthrough
JosephJacks_ · x · 2026-07-12
The tweet highlights a lesser-known but crucial invention in neuroscience history. In 2016, a team from Japan's NIMS built two novel instruments from scratch: ASADIM and Brestum. Challenging the traditional cell membrane and ion channel-based assumptions that have dominated the field since 1952, these tools opened new atomic-scale research avenues for neuroscience.
