Immediately after these lessons, as the mice slept, the authors used optogenetics to reduce bursts of neuronal firing that have been linked to replay. They did so during both the small-pupil and ...

To survive in complex and unpredictable environments, humans and other animals need to learn to predict the consequences of ...

Female mice demonstrated similar shifts under the ... while inhibition blocked the stress-induced preference shift. In females, optogenetic stimulation of VTA-NAc projections with rapid, burst ...

Enter FlyPi: a low-cost and modular open-source alternative to commercially available options for optogenetic experimentation. One of the things that larval zebrafish, fruit flies, and roundworms ...

This discovery was made using optogenetic technology, which facilitates the manipulation of biological phenomena using light. The findings are published in Development. Designated areas (white ...

As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Susumu Tonegawa at MIT, Liu and graduate student Steve Ramirez used optogenetic techniques to identify the neurons involved in encoding fear memories in ...
