Transfer of optogenetic vectors into the brain of neonatal animals to study neuron functions during subsequent periods of development

Abstract: Optogenetics, that is, the control of cell activity using light-sensitive ion channels opsins with light of a specific avelength, is increasingly being used to study activities and functions of neurons. Expression of opsins in the cell membrane, followed by the acquisition by the cell of the sensitivity to light is achieved by means of viral vectors, often created on the basis of lentiviral or adeno-associated (AAV) viruses bearing the nucleotide sequence encoding the photo-channel proteins. Inclusion of the c… Show more
