Triplett and his colleagues assessed the potential of their holographic optogenetics technique in a series of tests and their results were very promising. In fact, they found that their approach could ...

Before optogenetics emerged, researchers studying neural signaling relied largely on voltage- and calcium-sensitive dyes, as well as probes designed to detect changes in pH. Combined with the use of ...

Scientists at Scripps Research Institute have created a groundbreaking method to track when brain cell activity decreases or switches off after a burst of activity using a combination of optogenetics ...

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) affects about 400 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of serious illnesses such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and stroke. Beyond these ...
