High-resolution extracellular electrophysiology is typically used to record from neurons in order to understand brain function. Combining electrophysiology with optogenetics allows researchers to test ...

Globally recognized figures Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox have long suffered from Parkinson's disease. The disease presents a complex set of motor symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia ...

The 200-liter run is also the first demonstration of optogenetics in a stainless-steel bioreactor. The milestone highlights the company’s ability to deliver optogenetics benefits to biopharma partners ...

Robbie has been an avid gamer for well over 20 years. During that time, he's watched countless franchises rise and fall. He's a big RPG fan but dabbles in a little bit of everything. Writing about ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 first, UC researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at Scripps Research Institute have created a groundbreaking method to track when brain cell activity decreases or switches off after a burst of activity using a combination of optogenetics ...

Using optogenetics, Würzburg researchers have detected a new acid sensor in plant cells that addresses a cell-internal calcium store. The study is published in the journal Science. When plants are ...

20-year-old Katie loves tutorial porn. The university student, who is using her first name only for privacy reasons, tells Mashable that it helped her to understand sex during a time where it ...
