Optogenetic stimulation of parvalbumin cells resulted in a reduction of local blood flow and volume. The findings could shed new light on the neurobiological underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
Findings could lead to exciting new treatments for spinal cord injury and stroke patients, researchers report.
Researchers report the NsXeR protein can activate individual neurons when exposed to light.
Researchers report on a new method that allows linking individual neurons and brain network activity to control behavior in zebrafish.
A new study reveals the brain circuit that governs how we respond to conflicting environmental cues.
Researchers have been able to make neurons 'glow in the dark' to help measure brain activity.
Researchers have optimized optogenetics to map the neural circuits of the rodent brain with single neuron resolution.
A new study reports AIS plasticity happens quickly, influencing the way cells fire action potentials.
Researchers develop a highly flexible neural probe, created from polymers, which can both record and optically stimulate neural activity in the spinal cord of mice.
A new study reports neurons which encode whether a memory is negative or positive can be reprogrammed to change the emotional association of the experience. Findings could have implications for future research into PTSD.
Researchers bioengineer an enhancement to a cutting edge technology that provides instant control over brain circuit activity with a flash of light.
A new computer model explains how ion channels react to optogenetics.
