The researchers analyzed data from 619 healthy individuals and […]
Imagine you have a magical flashlight that can turn neurons on and off. Well, that’s essentially what optogenetics does! Using a combination of computer models and simulations, scientists have been studying how effective optogenetic stimulation is in CA1 neurons – a part of the brain associated with epilepsy. They found that by targeting specific areas […]
