Using light to manipulate neuron excitability – Neuroscience News
Summary: A new technique based on optogenetics allows researchers to control the excitability of neurons. Source: WITH Almost 20 years ago, scientists developed ways to stimulate or silence neurons by lighting them up. This technique, known as optogenetics, allows researchers to discover the functions of specific neurons and how they communicate with other neurons to …
