Nanomaterial-genetics allows infrared control of targeted neurons
Original: Nanomaterial-genetics enables near-infrared-driven genetically targeted neuromodulation
Researchers report a new technique combining nanomaterials and genetics that lets scientists modulate genetically targeted neurons using near-infrared light. Published in Science, the approach offers deeper, less invasive light penetration into tissue than conventional optogenetics, which relies on visible light. It could open new paths for studying and potentially treating neural circuits.
Why now: A novel neuromodulation method published in a top journal promises less invasive, deeper brain control
