Specificity, Versatility, and Continual Development: The Power of Optogenetics for Epilepsy Research

Optogenetics is a powerful and rapidly expanding set of techniques that use genetically encoded light sensitive proteins such as opsins. Through the selective expression of these exogenous light-sensitive proteins, researchers gain the ability to modulate neuronal activity, intracellular signaling p...
