Optogenetics (287 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. What if neuroscientists could look inside the human brain and watch individual brain cells send signals to one another? What if they could then control these brain cells to direct thoughts and actions? This may sound like science fiction, but it's actually a scientific revolution called optogenetics. Neuroscientists would like to use this new technology on human brains to uncover secrets about how the brain processes information and drives human behavior. Doctors hope to use optogenetics to restore sight and to treat Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression, and other debilitating or deadly health problems. Discover how the innovative work of leaders in the field is poised to radically transform science, medicine, and human health.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. What are the neural circuits that underpin behavior, both in psychiatric illness and in health? Can we understand what is going on in the brain of a person suffering depression, or who has an anxiety disorder, or is addicted to drugs? And what of our fundamental functions and survival drives: what are the connections between neurons that enable us to form, store, and retrieve memories, to feel empathy, to act as parents to our children? In the early years of thetwenty-first century, a new technology in neuroscience has emerged to unveil the causal relationship between the activity of specific neurons and the behaviors they control. That technology is calledoptogenetics.Optogenetics is a combination of optics and genetics to control well-defined events within specific cells of living tissue, the better to understand the mechanistic origins of those events. The technique includes the insertion into cells of genes that bestow light responsiveness to the proteins they produce, the means for delivering light deep into living, freely moving mammals, the targeting of light-sensitivity only to cells of interest, and ways forevaluating the effects of this optical control on behavior.Optogenetics enables scientists to both " and " the neural code. Optogenetics empowers the control of well-definedevents in neurons in real time by employing genes that confer light responsiveness. Most importantly, it is a transformational step toward causal neuroscience. Moving beyond a history of mostly observation and correlation, optogenetics now provides neuroscientists with the ability to switch neural function on and off with cell-specificity and millisecond accuracy.Because of conserved brain structure among species, optogenetic study of animal models has yielded invaluableinsights into human problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, autism, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It has revealed the brain circuits responsible for parenting behavior, howmemory works (and malfunctions), how percepts are formed from our visual experience, and other feats not previously possible. The book describes the profound breakthroughs in our understanding of the brain discovered in the twenty-first century by the technology of optogenetics and additional innovations, yielding invaluable insights into problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, autism, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
