Tips for Farm Neurodes

Mods Thief's Wit, Loot Detector and Animal Instinct will show the resource caches in the minimap. To recognize a resource cache, these should appear as regular loot icons that won't automatically loot if you're near them.
Resource caches make a distinctive sound when you're nearby, so turning off the background music will greatly help you find them.
Resource caches show a white light, which is different from the usual green or red.
