Controlling movement with light
For the first time, neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have shown they can control muscle movement by applying optogenetics -- a technique that allows scientists to control neuronsÂ’ electrical impulses with light -- to the spinal cords of animals that are awake and alert. ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

Optogenetics -- revolutionary new research technique (Image 2)
Optogenetics is a revolutionary new research technique that enables scientists to use light to precisely control the activity of neurons in the brain. In optogenetics, light-sensitive ion channels and pumps, known as microbial opsins, are genetically targeted to specific cells, so that upon light ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

Word processor for the genome: technologies for improving our understanding and treatment of diseases
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Our research focuses on the development and application of novel molecular technologies for studying the nervous system. Given the complexity of the brain, it is important to develop both precise perturbation as well as quantitative readout methodologies so that we can systematically reverse-engineer how the brain is functionally organized. So far my work has focused on the development of optogenetics technologies for controlling neural activity with high temporal, spatial, and cell-type specificity; and, more recently, genome engineering technologies based on CRISPR-Cas sy...

Production, characterization, and application of stem cell-derived photoreceptors
NEI AGI Seminar in Neuroregenerative Medicine
3-D organoids are the next big thing in disease modeling, drug screening, and tissue sourcing for transplantation. These miniature organs can be grown from patient-derived stem cells, providing a theoretically unlimited supply.
David Gamm, M.D., Ph.D., will summarize efforts to develop retinal organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye that sends visual signals to the brain. The most common blinding conditions in the U.S. affect the retina, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy,...

Dissection of the neuronal circuits and synapses that mediate the effects of drugs of abuse
Director's Seminar Series
Research in the laboratory headed by Dr. Alvarez is aimed at identifying the neuronal circuits that mediate and regulate reward-motivated and compulsive behaviors. The laboratory has focused on the behaviors toward substance of abuse, such as cocaine and ethanol, in addition to consummatory behaviors towards natural rewards like food and water. Dr. Alvarez pursues an integrative approach that includes the use of electrophysiology, 2-photon laser scanning microscopy and fast-scanning cyclic voltammetry for dopamine detection together with behavioral testing and in vivo manipulation of circuit activ...

The Procedural Pause: Ultrasound, Part 3: Foreign Body Removal
James R. Roberts, MD, & Martha Roberts, CEN, ACNP, look at ocular ultrasound in this video, sharing tips for assessing the eye and diagnosing retinal detachment, which in the past required a referral to an ophthalmologist and often delayed therapy.
