Using Genetic Tricks and Light to Understand Complex Brain Functions
30:47 - 36:54 (06:06)
Neuroscientists are using genetic tricks and light to better understand the complexity of merging data in the brain. By inserting specific genes into the neurons of mammals and turning them on with light, researchers are able to study and manipulate specific cells involved in processing complex information.
