This important study combines optogenetic manipulations and wide-field imaging to show that the retrosplenial cortex controls behavioral responses to whisker deflection in a context-dependent manner.

Researchers have made a significant advancement in the field of spinal cord injury research, developing a novel optogenetic mouse model that could lead to improved treatments for limb spasticity.

Researchers at the University of Ottawa have made a significant advancement in the field of spinal cord injury research, ...

The field of neuroscience and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease, are undergoing a transformation with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and optogenetics ...

Have you ever wondered how the brain is able to see things that are not really there? A hallucination is a perception formed without external stimuli. Last week, neuroscientists at the Stanford ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...
