Non-invasive optical control of endogenous Ca2+ channels in awake mice
Optogenetic applications in the brain of live animals often require the use of optic fibers due to poor tissue-penetration of blue light. Here the authors present monSTIM1, an improved high sensitivity optogenetic tool able to modulate Ca2+ signaling in the brain of awake mice using non-invasive lig...
