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 ...

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, ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- The revolution that optogenetics technology has brought to biology -- neuroscience in particular -- could be transformed all over again if a new project getting ...

An irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, leads to inefficient pumping of blood by the heart, which then prevents blood and ...

A new study uses optogenetics and roflumilast to prove sleep deprivation blocks memory retrieval, not storage.

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 ...

But a report in STAT News today (September 1) reveals that a Wayne State researcher by the name of Zhuo-Hua Pan actually got optogenetics to work first. The method works by introducing ...
