Introduction: Optogenetics is a rapidly developing field combining optics and genetics, with promising applications in neuroscience and beyond. However, there is currently a lack of bibliometric ...

Microbial rhodopsins widely used for optogenetics are sensitive to light in the visible spectrum. As visible light is heavily scattered and absorbed by tissue, stimulating light for optogenetic ...

Researchers at the University of Geneva, together with colleagues in Switzerland, France, the United States and Israel, describe how optogenetic control of brain cells and circuits is already steering ...

The pre‐eminent goal in neuroscience is to understand how the brain functions at the anatomical, physiological and molecular level. This aim has been greatly advanced by the development of ...

The intricate and complex interaction between different populations of neurons in the brain has imposed limits on our ability to gain detailed understanding of synaptic transmission and its ...

It may sound like science fiction, but neuroscientists are currently able to manipulate the activity of specific neurons in the brain — with light alone. Image Credits: Geralt / Pixabay Using certain ...

As clinical trials using optogenetics—a technology that controls neurons with light like a switch—to restore vision expand, attention is growing. It is currently the only field of optogenetic therapy ...
