Researchers developed a refined optogenetics method to precisely control long-range brain circuits in marmosets. By targeting ...

As a child, Max Hodak learned to develop film in a darkroom with his grandfather who was almost blind. Hodak’s grandfather had retinitis pigmentosa, a congenital disease that affects one out of every ...

Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on ...

Plant scientists have engineered a light-controlled gene expression system (optogenetics system) from a prokaryotic system into a eukaryotic system that is tailored for plants. Imagine if humans could ...

University of Rochester researchers have demonstrated a noninvasive method using BL-OG, or bioluminescent optogenetics, that harnesses light to activate neurons in the brain. The ability to regulate ...

A South Korean research group has reported in a new paper that artificial intelligence and light-based genetic tools can work together to diagnose and stop Parkinson’s-like disease in mice. The work ...
