The field of optogenetics has revolutionised our ability to manipulate neuronal circuits by harnessing light-sensitive ion channels to control cellular activity with unprecedented precision. At its ...

In what could one day become a new treatment for epilepsy, researchers at UC San Francisco, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Berkeley have used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. The ...

Using optogenetics, researchers used pulses of light to prevent seizure-like activity in neurons. This is the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have studied the impact of two brain areas on the nature of memory content. The team from the Department of Neurophysiology showed in rats how the ...

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, ...
