Systems neuroscience relies mainly on recordings of neural activity and its correlation with behavior. It also uses pharmacological manipulations to perturb the neural system and thereby to establish ...

A new study published in Cell has unveiled a first-of-a-kind optogenetic screening platform, developed by scientists at Integrated Biosciences, a biotechnology company integrating optogenetics, ...

Sensory cortices contain extensive descending (corticofugal) pathways, yet their impact on brainstem processing – particularly across sensory systems – remains poorly understood. In the auditory ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses all-fiber transmission photometry for simultaneous optogenetic stimulation and multi-color neuronal activity recording. Understanding the ...

Optogenetics is a technique that combines genetics and optics to control neuronal activity, which is based on the discovery of light-sensitive membrane channels within pond algae that control movement ...

Optogenetics are advanced research tools that allow scientists to precisely control the activity of brain cells using light. Over the past few years, optogenetic techniques have become increasingly ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . In this Healio Video Perspective, SriniVas R. Sadda, MD, discusses his paper on Nanoscope’s MCO-010 optogenetic ...

Innovative technologies in genomics and photonics are accelerating the discovery of novel clinical treatments that may one day help treat neurological diseases and disorders. A recent study published ...

A new optogenetic tool, a protein that can be controlled by light, has been characterized by researchers. They used an opsin -- a protein that occurs in the brain and eyes -- from zebrafish and ...

In humans, motor neurons link thoughts with the motion of the body. The bodies of these cells sit in the brain, brainstem, or spinal cord, and a projection from a motor neuron called the axon extends ...
