The optogenetic (r)evolution [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Genomics, 2011
Optogenetics is a rapidly evolving field of technology that allows optical control of genetically targeted biological systems at high temporal and spatial resolution. By heterologous expression of light-sensitive microbial membrane proteins, opsins, cell type-specific depolarization or silencing can be optically induced on a millisecond time scale ...

Behavioral optogenetics in nonhuman primates; a psychological perspective

open access: yesCurrent Research in Neurobiology, 2023
Optogenetics has been a promising and developing technology in systems neuroscience throughout the past decade. It has been difficult though to reliably establish the potential behavioral effects of optogenetic perturbation of the neural activity in ...

Synthetic Biological Approaches for Optogenetics and Tools for Transcriptional Light-Control in Bacteria.

open access: yesAdvances in Biology, 2021
Light has become established as a tool not only to visualize and investigate but also to steer biological systems. This review starts by discussing the unique features that make light such an effective control input in biology.

A Light Wand to Untangle the Myocardial Cell Network

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2019
The discovery of optogenetics has revolutionized research in neuroscience by providing the tools for noninvasive, cell-type selective modulation of membrane potential and cellular function in vitro and in vivo. Rhodopsin-based optogenetics has later been

Non-viral delivery and optimized optogenetic stimulation of retinal ganglion cells led to behavioral restoration of vision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Stimulation of retinal neurons using optogenetics via use of chanelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) has opened up a new direction for restoration of vision for treatment of retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Optogenetics and Vision

open access: yesHerald of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2019
In this article the authors discuss electronic and optogenetic approaches for degenerative (blind) retina prosthesis as the main strategies for the restoration of vision to blind people. Primary attention is devoted to the prospects of developing retinal prostheses for the blind using modern optogenetic methods, and rhodopsins, which are photosensitive

Optogenetics: Emerging strategies for neuropathic pain treatment

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
Neuropathic pain (NP) is a chronic health condition that presents a significant burden on patients, society, and even healthcare systems. However, in recent years, an emerging field in the treatment of neuropathic pain – optogenetic technology has dawned,

Identifying specific prefrontal neurons that contribute to autism-associated abnormalities in physiology and social behavior. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Functional imaging and gene expression studies both implicate the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), particularly deep-layer projection neurons, as a potential locus for autism pathology.
