Their proposed mapping strategies, outlined in two Nature Neuroscience papers, combine holographic optogenetics, a method to selectively and precisely stimulate or silence specific neuron populations, ...

Innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning and optogenetics are accelerating discoveries in life sciences, especially in the field of neuroscience. A new ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Neuroscientists are eagerly, but not always successfully, looking for proof that optogenetics – a celebrated technique that uses pulses of visible light to ...

A new paper in Oxford Open Neuroscience, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that optogenetics, suggested as a promising treatment for many psychological and neurological conditions, may ...

To simultaneous manipulate and monitor living brain activity at both microscopic and macroscopic levels and identify the links to behavior is a significant goal of neuroscience. Thanks to a hybrid ...

In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, researchers have used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, ...

Research shows that a certain kind of visual illusion, neon color spreading, works on mice. The study is also the first to combine the use of two investigative techniques called electrophysiology and ...

Optogenetic activation of silent VIP inhibitory neurons restores learning and motor function in Huntington's disease models.

Using optogenetics, researchers used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. This is the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain ...
