This volume provides researchers with up-to-date protocols and takes a close look at current research and promising applications. Optogenetics: Methods and Protocols contains a collection of recently developed technical protocols on optogenetic applications in neuroscience, brai…
" ... focuses on proven applications of photoswitching proteins in cell and neurobiology. Optical approaches have been mostly embraced by the neurosciences to allow fast, high-resolution characterization and manipulation of single cells in complex neuronal tissue. These tools, i…

"Optogenetics represents a breakthrough technology capable of dynamically modulating molecular and cellular activity in live cells with high precision. This transformative technology made it possible to reversibly interrogate protein actions, cellular events, and animal behavior…
This book, now in a thoroughly revised second edition, offers a comprehensive review of the rapidly growing field of optogenetics, in which light-sensing proteins are genetically engineered into cells in order to acquire information on cellular physiology in optical form or to e…
Previous work indicates that the infralimbic cortex (IL) mediates extinction learning and actively suppresses cocaine-seeking during reinstatement, following cocaine self-administration. Despite extensive work supporting this role for IL activity, how and under exactly which con…
One of the fundamental problems in neuroscience is how behavior is generated from sensory input and internal neural states, such as the animal’s behavioral context. We present new methods and findings to address this by studying the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. With a …
