Optogenetics: Light-Sensing Proteins and Their Applications in Neuroscience and Beyond by Hiromu Yawo
English | PDF | 2021 | 646 Pages | ISBN : 9811587620 | 33.5 MB
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 enable control of specific network in the brain upon activation by light. Light-sensing proteins of various living organisms are now available to be exogenously expressed in neurons and other target cells both in vivo and in vitro.
