Feng Zhang Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Feng Zhang:

There may be an evolutionary advantage for schizophrenia genes during famine.

Brain cells are normally not sensitive to light. So by introducing light-sensitive proteins into specific types of neurons, we can now selectively control that specific type of neuron by shining light in the brain.

The ideal way to study the property of different types of neurons is to control individual types of cells independently and see what happens when you alter one type of cell. Optogenetics helps to realize this goal.
