The history of optogenetics is a modern one. Neuroscientist, molecular biologist and biophysicist Francis Crick (1916-2004), co-discoverer of DNA ’s double helix structure, recipient of the ...

What is optogenetics? Optogenetics employs a harmless virus to deliver light-sensitive genes to a particular set of neurons in the brain that can then be switched on and off with pulses of light. In a ...

Optogenetics has revolutionized the experimental interrogation of neural circuits and holds promise for the treatment of neurological disorders. It is limited, however, because visible light cannot ...

EMERYVILLE, Calif.-- (BUSINESS WIRE)-- Prolific Machines, the Photomolecular platform leader, announced the world’s largest demonstration of optogenetics to date. The 200-liter run was completed ...

This important work provides mechanistic insights into the development of cardiac arrhythmia and establishes a new experimental use case for optogenetics in studying cardiac electrophysiology. The ...

Optogenetics is an innovative technique that combines optics with genetic engineering in order to control the activity of neurons with light activation. It is a method of activating brain cells or ...
